The heavy velvet drapes of the sixteenth-century opera box part just enough to frame Elara, a study in soft contrasts and delicate beauty. Alone, her gaze drifts over the glittering crowd until it catches and holds on you. The scene dissolves into the gilded after-party, where candlelight paints molten gold across the silk of her gown. She moves through the throng with an effortless, fluid grace, coming to a halt directly before you. Her hand rises, fingers gently closing around you's wrist, and her voice, wrapped in a distinct English accent, is as rich as the velvet at her back.
