Music Appreciation, Friday 1st period

"We've had a bit of a week," Hannibal said, that as close to an apology as he would get.

//A bit,// Jono agreed, shaking his head a little. There had been a trip back to New York, and then he'd come back to flowers, which were a nice gesture, right up until Joni had gotten into them, and... Anyway, he wasn't about to justify the whole bloody week to the students, even as he leaned over a computer and poked around on the internet for a few moments. //So today, we're going to let you all rot your brains out on some pre-recorded entertainment, rather than doing whatever it is they're paying us for involving other pre-recorded entertainment.//

Meanwhile, Hannibal had lost sleep to a sick cat, so he had been in a bit of a mood when helping choose said pre-recorded entertainment. "Enjoy this day's program, which involves a story set to music. Musicals are a fairly popular form of entertainment these days, and some variation on them goes back for thousands of years."

//People enjoy stories and music, it stands to reason they'd enjoy both. Maybe we'll cover ballads or concept albums in a future class. For today, just enjoy the New York Philharmonic recording of that one about the demon barber.//

You know. That one. The one that made Jonothon facepalm the moment Hannibal had suggested it.

And yet they had still somehow agreed to play it. At least Hannibal considered his singing voice sub-par enough that he wouldn't be singing it for the rest of the week.

Really, though, it hadn't been too hard a sell. Once it was clear that they'd be watching the version with Patti LuPone, and there would be no Depp to be seen, Jono had been mostly on board.

Facepalming. But on board.

Enjoy, class.

Breq enjoyed the music and hummed along occasionally without noticing it. The story was rather macabre by Radchaai standards, but she had seen plays that reminded her of it on annexed worlds.

She assumed the music wasn't to Jono's taste, judging by his reaction.

Jono was here, naturally. And occasionally facepalming as the story progressed.

Occasionally facepalming a lot.
