“To whom does that heavenly bass voice belong?” Boris cried. “That voice is untrained, but his interpretation is most compelling!” “It is Valeri, the midget of our circus,” answered <strong>Mr</strong>. Cannelloni. “He’s been a little depressed since we had to cancel his act. Unfortunately, the new regulations ban the use of human cannonballs.” “How marvelous!” Boris declared. “A midget bass! We can form a duo. Our team will be called ’One-and-a Half Basses.’” Valeri was less excited about the idea than Boris. In fact, Rosita had to work hard to persuade Valeri to even go to the opera singer’s music room to talk to Boris. She promised the former human cannonball that he could do something that would remind him of the good old days. The rest of the crew would have to wait to see what it was. The day before the show turned out to be a busy one. Rosita sat in the garden and listened to the duo rehearsing. Luckily, both singers seemed to be in good spirits. With the assistance of the rehearsal pianist, they had found a collection of arias and songs that brought out the best in both of their voices. 106
The audience is in for a performance of a lifetime! thought Rosita happily. At nightfall a trailer arrived in front of Boris’s house. Musicians from a chamber orchestra climbed out with their instruments. In an instant, the hall was filled with dozens of cases—from brass, woodwind, and string instruments— and piles of garment bags. By now Emilio was ripping his hair out in frustration. Now they had to accommodate even more people in the villa’s guestrooms! It also meant more trips to the village to get help with ironing and cleaning of performers’ tailcoats and evening dresses. 107
