My dreams are finally coming true. Looking at myself in the mirror, I could see the way my eyes were shining with happiness. I can finally show all the people back home that I am meant for this and more. The urge to show them was so strong that I think I would burst in to fire any moment now.
I can also finally make my parents proud. Even though they wanted me to do something else they still showed me support. And because of that I want to make them proud so that they can boast me around like the way people back home be doing.
The opportunity that I have is one of a lifetime. I can't even belief that I am the prima Donna for this opening. When I got accepted I thought my eyes were tricking me but here I am.
The singing will start much later though, they will start with introducing the man whose building it is then after the official opening is done, the opera will start.
Luckily we as in the people backstage have a clear view of seeing everything on the stage so I am excited to see the man who created this opera house.
"Let's go people we are about to start, Vincenzo just arrived." One of the people that are in control of everything that happens backstage announced. I went over to a spot where I would be able to see everything.
"I have heard that Vincenzo is hot, so I am excited to see him." I looked over to one of the backing singers that said it. She is really pretty, her short blond hair matches her blue eyes perfectly. Her face was shaped like a heart. The person next to her agreed. "I have seen him once on a billboard he is indeed very fine. I am forever going to boast to my friends that I saw him closely."
Before I got the gig, I had never heard of Vincenzo Armani and no it's not because I live under a rock but the only thing that interest me enough to check out on the internet is my fellow opera singers so that I can improve.
While I was thinking, the announcer came on stage. "Welcome all to the opening of Teatro dei Sogni." There was clapping heard, so I also softly clapped.
"We have with us a lot of special people here tonight." I am pretty sure that only influential people were invited or rich people. He quickly introduced himself before naming some of the influential people here.
The names that I was hearing made my mouth open, I was not expecting them. There are a lot of fellow business men like Vincenzo himself. But at the same time there are also a lot of famous opera singers, conductors and more. But there are not only musicians in the classic genre but different ones too.
There were also some pop singers there and models. Gosh I felt like I didn't belong. I shook my head, that feeling and thoughts needs to be gone. Tonight even though I don't feel like I belong I need to fake it. Isn't that what they say fake it till you make it?

"And now I request the man we have all been waiting for, Vincenzo Armani!" He shouted. Everyone started clapping once again.
A tall man came on the stage. I couldn't see his face, since he is faced to the crowd. He is quite tall and the suit that he is wearing really shows his figure. I could only see his back but like Bonnie Bennett once said, he is a hot back.
"Thank you everyone for coming to this special event." The deep husky voice that came out of him made goosebumps come over me. I wasn't expecting his voice to sound this good. It made some urge that I won't be talking about come over me.
"The opening of this opera house wouldn't have happened without my mother. Sadly she couldn't be here right now since she is in Italy but I promised her I would film the whole event for her." He continued. So he is close with his mother that's good I think it makes him have a higher chance of being a gentleman.
He continued with a couple more words before he closed it with a short gratitude once again.
While he was leaving the stage he turned around which made me see him clearly. The man is fine as hell. I wasn't expecting him to be this fine but wow. His face shape is angular with his jawline being prominent. His eyebrows looks taken care of.
His mid-length black hair is wavy it fits him. From the distance I concluded that his eye color was a sort of grey eye color. His nose was 100% made by a Greek god, it stood tall on his face. The well-tailored black suit that he is wearing brings out his olive skin.
All of this makes me think that God took extra time and extra care to make him 'cause no one is looking like him. I quickly snapped myself from drooling over him. I need to focus on my job since he is technically the one who will be overseeing my pay I wouldn't want to make him uncomfortable or so.
After he took a seat, the announcer said a couple more words before it was time for the orchestra to start. It is finally my moment. The nerves started attacking me but I wanted to keep them under control. I started thinking about my parents I am doing this for them and myself of course so I am not about to let my nerves ruin this for me.
I guess the small pep talk helped, I was hyped enough to get on the stage.
"Okay time for the orchestra and the singers." People started clapping for us. I took in a deep breath before I took the stage. Everything is going to be okay I said to myself. The set list was still in my head.
We were going to start of strong with a song of Händel. I know most of the songs on the set list so it wasn't hard to learn them and my old music teacher also helped a great deal. So tonight it isn't only myself that I am going to make proud but there is a whole support team behind me so I need to make them proud.
