Rapunzel didn’t think she would ever get to see an opera (she also hadn’t believed that she would step foot in France either, yet here she was !), never mind one that was so incredibly acclaimed in the biggest opera house in the country. The opera itself was wonderful, full of emotion and humor and music that struck straight to the heart. All in all, it was a night to remember for Rapunzel (all thanks to her father, an early birthday gift and trip to Paris).
While her and her father’s presence was known (and talked about upon arrival), Rapunzel found herself separated from her father at the end of the show; the crowds having poured out into the foyer of the opera house and onto the streets of Paris. Many paid her little attention, and admittedly, she reveled in the sense of ANONYMITY. The young princess moved into what must have been a service hallway, deciding on waiting out the crowd before trying to find the king.
She pressed against the wall, paying little attention to the scene behind her until movement had caught her ears. Rapunzel turned, catching sight of one of the performers from the show. Instinctively, the blonde took a step forward a smile on her delicate features.
“Oh, hello there!” She realizes her approach would be of disapproval for her father (royalty always had to be stiff and proper) and consciously presses her lips together. “Um, I just wanted to say that you are a lovely dancer. This was probably one of the best nights of my life.”
@primaetoile ♥’d for a starter !
FIERCE SOLILOQUY RESONATES WITHIN THE YOUNG DANCER ; movements ever elegant, she rises across the stage like the sun in morn —— ( radiant like an enigma, she represented the dawn amidst the darkest night ). gentle, yet undeniably passionate, meg thrives in her fleeting moment on stage. limbs laced together like a marionette with strings, she becomes drunk from the glamour of music and merry ambiance. heart dancing in ecstasy, the ballerina swoons from within the silhouette of the glistening light. all those long hours in rehearsals were NOTHING compared to this transient instances.
even if it was only a passing glance, she can feel the masses eyes on her !!
it was overwhelming —— it was intoxicating. yet rose tinted brims can only settle with a porcelain grin while her gentle frame played her role to the best of her abilities. ( rumor has it, a foreign royal family was to attend tonight’s showing ), and opera populaire promises nothing but the best for their entertainment. it was certainly exhilarating to say the least, of course, for meg —— there was a blurred reality between themselves, the actors, and those who watches them. the musical ends, and the curtains come falling. the sound of thunderous applause echos throughout the corridor and a sigh of relief etch themselves on her complexion.
they did it... it was a success !! the rest of the corps de ballet congratulates one another with such strife —— and even her mother, the ballet instructor, offered little criticism to their group performances. laughter relieves all tense nerves, and before long, the curious little giry finds herself venturing away from the others. ( she was nervous ), she truly must profess. even now, her heart was pounding from all that adrenaline. it was truly not her first performance, but it was the first time she was given a role much more distinguished than usual. even if it was a minor character, it was still a glorious achievement. sensing the uproar of journalist in the front of the opera, curiosity soon ventures within her gaze. head tilts and lips gaping softly as she peers from behind the corridor.
❝ h-hello !! ❞ a polite greeting quickly echos onto the tip of her lips. posture immediately straightening as a growing excitement flourishes onto her complexion. aside from the other corp members and a couple of stage producers, no one has ever complimented her like this before !! she was at a lost for words, and yet she was thrilled by the inviting nature of this young woman. ❝ you are far too kind mademoiselle. thank you for the compliment, i am pleased to hear that you enjoyed yourself, tonight !! ❞
