While sitting up close, so you can see all the beautiful costumes, think about what a great idea it is to make the beautiful garments with opposite colors, notice how it makes them vibrate. Fall in love with all of the red shoes. Imagine singing like that while wearing red shoes! Throw over the red shoes in favor of the Isabel Leonard playing Cherubino. Close your eyes to avoid looking at the cockeyed set in the third act and just listen to the music. Oh, the music!
2. Finish another tote bag version of your own drawing:
3. Watch Amadeus on Netflix.
Marvel at F. Murray Abraham as Antonio Salieri as he describes Mozart’s music:
“Extraordinary! On the page it looked nothing. The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse - bassoons and basset horns - like a rusty squeezebox. Then suddenly - high above it - an oboe, a single note, hanging there unwavering, till a clarinet took over and sweetened it into a phrase of such delight! This was no composition by a performing monkey! This was a music I'd never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing, it had me trembling.”
4. Vacuum for 3 hours listening to Le Nozze di Figaro, again.
5. Wave to all your students and former students playing football in the basketball court as you Hula Hoop in the handball court.
Repeat every day for at least an hour.
Sunday night give in to the inevitable…

Sì, ho finito.
