They're so adorable 😍 Batcat here has like three white chest hairs and my friend was joking and said that he's technically a tuxedo 😆

You were at this show too!! I was up in the stadium seating dressed as a blue Morpho butterfly I danced my ass off

YES! 🥹 I was so thrilled to see that! These guys are the real deal. They shredded their FACES off, also dripping tap?!

Oh yeah, and it's drag night. And yes, the whole band showed up in drag

The focus on the servant class & open arrogance of the Count not being a match for the wit of Susanna and the countess were ways in which this varied from the established beliefs of the time.

There was definitely a gender bending to the character of Cherubino that was riffed in the opera several times.

This queerness in full view was not something seen in mainstream entertainment in the 18th Century & was audacious Mozart being audacious.

The opera started at either 7 or 8 most likely, it makes sense to have Leo on the Midheaven as a performance especially one that takes jabs at kings!

The minor aspects this chart feels akin to the clues that Mozart would drop in the script to who would deceive who & how they would become unravelled

Ruled by a 9H Mars in Cancer conjunct Uranus making a minor aspect to 4H Pluto Saturn Conjunction in Aquarius, one can imagine how this would have played into the rising revolution, especially since squaring Mercury rx opposite the ASC

That dignified Venus is also ruling the 12H Neptune, hinting at the sheer amount of deceit & deception that drives the plot of this thing, which is also making a minor aspect to Mercury who is sextiling Mars/Uranus and squaring Saturn/Pluto

The first opening overture is absolutely iconic though! It's very interesting that this debuted during a Mercury retrograde conjunct Venus opposing the ASC of this chart, since so many of the schemes/plots are unravelled by unwitting communication.

It seems to remark that along royalty particularly, relationships come with an inherent machinistic power dynamic that gets in the way of what true love is. Do royals even know what true love is?

Full of classic Mozart slapstick humour and a couple of boner jokes in the modern interpretation.

This opera was considered controversial/ found to inflame the discontentment festering in the lower class into the French Revolution

Though he was making jabs at the ruling class by detailing them as manipulators, he didn't establish an anti-thetical role in the servant class. Everyone was scheming

The countess & Susanna running off together is the only ending I will accept!

It's very clear what #Mozart thought of relationships, which foreshadowed perhaps the fact that he died alone.
