And those were the pieces of the opera.

I had a solo, but this is the point.

The members of the youth theatre, because the kids, we were young, we stood and we sang.

But the members of the youth theatre would do a dumb show and mime what the stories were.

And I was watching them.

I kept trying to watch the conductor because it was in such a complicated time signature.

But my eyes kept drifting over to what the youth theatre were doing, members of the youth theatre, who were all older than me.

And they were doing incredible things.

There was like five or six of them.

But at one moment, one of them would become old and then being assisted by the others.

And then they would turn and suddenly become something else.

Then they would suddenly become a dragon trailing each other across the stage.

Then one of them would get on the back and use a whip like a lash.

And then they would get down again and become flowers.

And I was watching this.

Very good movement.

And I was fascinated because I was thinking, how are you doing that?

Again, more than some of their parts.

And I thought, what are they?

And then I learned that that was the youth theatre.
