choir director Erik Kroncke will play the character Sarastro in the opera
"The Magic Flute" this February in Colorado. This floral display was
an interpretation from an aria that Eric will sing. The aria is as follows:
"Within these sacred grounds, revenge and anger end: a way to peace is
found, and injury can mend. With friendship's kindness as our guide, the soul's
made glad and satisfied. Amidst this band of brothers, a loving wisdom lives:
all honor one another, and freely we forgive. For one deserving human birth,
there is no greater joy on earth."
The Queen of the Night's dome
of evil was created with willow that is breaking open as "revenge and anger
end." "Within these sacred grounds" is represented with the
ground opening and regular and miniature carnation burst forward also
representing the "band of brothers, a loving wisdom lives" and
"the human birth."
