The show must go on, as murder, mayhem and music run riot in the night.The Opera House,Ankh-Morpork.A huge,rambling building, where masked figures and hooded shadows do wicked deeds in the wings.Where dying the death on stage is a little bit more than a metaphor.Where innocent young sopranos are lured to their fateful destiny by an evil mastermind in a hideously deformed evening dress. Where. .
There's a couple of old ladies in pointy hats eating peanuts in the gods and looking up at the big chandelier and saying things like: 'There's an accident waiting to happen if ever I saw one.'
Yes.Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg,the Discworld's greatest witches,are back for an innocent night at the opera.So there's going to be trouble (but nevertheless a good evening's entertainment,with murders you can really hum.)
