Notes From a Fairy Princess In Exile. Musings on fairy tales, myths, fables, writing, and the occasional fangirl squee about Baba Yaga. Its that time again! This time it was a Tragic Romance from the 1890s called Werther. Yeah if this is spoiling anything, you don't know opera very well. So…Here’s the good—as an opera, the music is perfect—the best, probably that I’ve seen. The set and costumes and casting choices are spot on perfect.
