Show Stealer

The opera isn't over until the fat lady sings, the demotic aphorism goes Before the curtain goes up at the opera house, someone least expected comes out to close the show She was no fat lady. Rather, a young soprano. A shy young girl about the age of sixteen. She takes center stage; unsure of herself. Her eyes nervously scanning the audience as a hush fell over the packed house. All were breathless with anticipation, waiting to hear her sing. Then she sprung a show-stopping surprise! Mouths were agape, the applause, deafening. A show-stealing star was instantaneously born! It's difficult not to be moved by the young soprano's lachrymose powerfully sung aria The audience made their exit, astounded!
