Greetings and Salutations, lovelies! This is Maggie Saunders, and gee I am just over the moon to announce that the incomparable, talented, and devastatingly handsome Tito Morelli, THE world-famous opera star, is coming to perform at my father’s hotel, and home to one of the finest opera houses in all of Cleveland!

My Aunt Julia…well, she’s not really my aunt. She’s a really old friend and, oh my god listen to me, I don’t want to bore you with those details! As I was saying, my Aunt Julia is Chairman of the Opera Guild and let me tell you, this would not have been possible without her. She is simply the best! And Max, my boyfriend, well he is basically Daddy’s right hand…

Do you know what this means?

I am most definitely going to meet Mr. Morelli! With Daddy, Aunt Julia, and Max all around him, why, I’m practically a shoo-in! I did meet him one other time when I was in Italy with Daddy..but that doesn’t really count! It was so hot that the minute he stared right at me, well, I passed out. You cannot imagine how absolutely mortified I was! I can assure you that will not happen again. If it did, oh I would simply die!

Oh, I just can’t wait to meet him! He is just so romantic. And when he sings, the whole world stops to listen and it is just the most beautiful thing ever. Listen to me, if I keep going I’ll turn into a big ol’ ball bag!

Do be sure to come see him sing. We promise a night of music, love, and passion! Oh, I can't wait! See you soon! I love you all! Maggie Saunders
