Staging La Boheme (the Bohemians)

Yesterday night, I was at the Michigan Opera Theatre (MOT) at our rehearsal for the opera La Boheme (the Bohemians). We were with every single adult that's in La Boheme (at least for act 2). We saw the Principal roles (Mimi, a Soprano, Rodolfo, a Tenor, Marcello, a Baritone, Colline, a Bass, and Schaunaurd [I don't know how to spell that], I think a Baritone), the vendors, the people walking around in the marketplace, the other kids,  and the rich people sitting in the Café Momus. I have a solo part and the scene that I sing it in is really fun. Our "mothers" chase us I think for trying to get toys from Parpignol, the toy seller. We have to hide from them. I hide under the table the principal roles are sitting at. Then my "mom" finds me and I sing (because everything in an opera is singing. There's NO talking in an opera) that I want a toy trumpet and a toy horse. I'm really excited because I get to perform on opening night.
