Chapter 10- Singing for Bogart
Dominique stood, as he knew he could not breath properly hunched over like he was. He stared at Bogart he told him to sing Don Juan's part of 'Point of No Return', acapella.
Dominique opened his mouth and boomingly let out the notes, giving them passion and volume. "You have come here…. In pursuit of your deepest urge. In pursuit of that wish which till now, has been silent, silent." His voice bounced off the walls, and carried out into the hall. A young girl who was passing the office stopped and put her ear to the door.
"I have brought you, that our passion may fuse and merge. In you mind, you've already succumb to me, dropped your defenses, completely succumb to me, now you are here with me, no second thought, you've decided…" Dominique breathed silently, "Decided…"
The girl swooned and felt her knees start to give way. She hoped that the voice within had not heard her breathing. She also hoped that he would not hear her heart beating, as it was now thudding loudly inside her chest.
Dominique started up again, this time quieter, but not loosing any of his feeling or passion. "Past the point of no return, no backward glances, the games we've played till now are at an end…" He thought he heard someone gasp, but he continued anyway. "Past all thought of 'if' or 'when', no use resisting. Abandon thought and let the dream discern." His voice grew louder, and rougher, but not less stunning. "What raging fire shall flood the soul? What rich desire unlocks its door? What sweet seduction lies before us?"
The girl was sure she had gasped aloud , and also that someone within had heard her, but no one had come out, and the voice had not stopped, so she went on listening. Her heart skipped a beat at the word, 'seduction'.
"Past the point of no return, the final threshold, what warm unspoken secret will we learn, beyond the point of no return." All was quiet for a moment, and then to Dominique's surprised Bogart began clapping his hands.
Bogart stood, and leaning on his desk, he looked Dominique straight in the eye and told him, "Welcome to the Opera Populaire." He smiled. "Rehearsals will begin Tuesday even, after we inform Miss Chagny of her role as Aminta."
Isabelle took her ear from the door. Had she heard correctly? Was she really to be Aminta in the next Opera?
Dominique stared at Bogart for a second. Had he heard correctly? Was Isabelle really to be Aminta in the next Opera?
Yay! Isabelle as Aminta!
