What a beauty this form/picture, this Black Hole!

In an unrelated (tee hee) matter: "Aeros/Wild Stars"Khudobin and Almond are reassigned to the Aeros.
A healthy "Dimples" will supplant Brusty, but quien sabe for sure.
And a seasoned (NHL game experienced) Almond "Joy" hopefully will provide some of that to the Aeros in their next on the road games!

Written in 1682 for performance in the private apartments of Louis XIV at Versailles, this delightful short opera celebrates the various pleasures enjoyed at the French Baroque court via characters who represent Music, Conversation, Gambling, Feasting and Pleasure. Our performance features a full cast of soloists plus a small chorus and instrumental ensemble, with costumes and set pieces. Houston Grand Opera's Tara Faircloth directs the production, which gives a glimpse of the sumptuous elegance of courtly life in Versailles. To further indulge in the senses of the day, a wine and chocolate reception will follow the performance. Presented in collaboration with the Moores School of Music Collegium Music.
Here's a little taste of this opera's Music..
