I was used to seeing a nice camera angle shot of the singer or an actor going about their everyday life, maybe a dance number in thrown into the plot.

m o n s I e u r s a g e “Everybody was a little afraid of Monsieur Sage, the opera connoisseur.” Monsieur Sage sits by the stage. Today he has on a long, plum-colored overcoat. His cravat is tied neatly – c'est la – and his hat has been taken off his head and placed neatly beside him – so. Monsieur Sage is with us nearly every day.

I was six years old and my dad, the one who called me princess and tucked me in every night, could not recognize me, or comfort me, and tell me everything would be okay. I thought I lost my dad that day. That is the time I can say I knew what it felt like to have the weight of the world on your shoulder now that the world was crashing down on me at six years old wrapped in…
