[ for those who know him, this post by amadeus is lacking in its usual energy and jubilance, instead weighed down by measured thoughtfulness. it's also a long time coming: he has been mysteriously missing from the theater scene for some months now. ]

When the Teatro Regio Ducale in Milan was destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt the Teatro alla Scala in 1778 and gracefully inaugurated with an opera by none other than Antonio Salieri himself. —L'Europa riconosciuta, in case you wondered.

It feels wrong to celebrate the legalizing of theater without him here, when he was so integral to its passing. He was my partner in all things, including the year-long endeavor it took to get here.

... Still, we have the rest of the Council to thank, and all of you who lent a hand in the past. Thank you, truly. It meant a great deal to us old art fogies.

[ he wonders how long it'll be before he feels up to doing things in salieri's honor, as though he were passed. ]

Eheh. As it happens, there are still some restrictions involved. Although nothing my genius self can't handle. [ wow ]

[fiddlestick]

Ah, yes of course. And I'm sure you'll follow the restrictions to the letter too.

[He says in a completely deadpan tone]

There's a certain magic inherent to music. Wouldn't you agree?

The Council's heart was certainly in the right place, but I'm still not sure they understand the arts entirely.

[fiddlestick]

Well of course! I'm a strong believer in the power of music.

And you're just the one to make them fully understand?

[fordeath]

One step at a time.

Of course, magical music isn't banned, but I can't very well leave the troupe behind to fight for their plays on their own.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, of course not. That wouldn't be right.

Well I still have my own projects outside theater, but you ever need a violinist, just let me know!
