Echoes of Mozart on Docosie III.

One of the things I enjoy about living on Docosie III is its diversity. It’s so vibrant and so representative of the Federation.

A wide variety of cultural events regularly take place here, ranging from festivals to art, music, and theatre.

Next week, we’re in for a real treat. We’ll be getting a visit from a travelling ballet and operatic group called The Echoes‑in‑Motion Ensemble. They’ll be giving the colony what has been described as a truly magical adaptation of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s The Magic Flute.

I’ve heard the music and the arias many times over my nine lifetimes, but I’ve only ever seen it performed live once, as Emony, when I was on Earth to judge a gymnastics competition at the University of Mississippi. It was a date with Leonard McCoy.

The Ensemble will be performing in the main auditorium of our central complex. Ranih, James, Jean, and I have already secured our tickets.

I found myself wondering how Mozart might react if he knew his opera was still being performed and enjoyed more than 680 years after its premiere in 1791 in Vienna, Earth. From what I’ve read, he was said to be rather self‑opinionated, so he might not be remotely surprised, he knew it was great.
