*1790s France. The prestigious Paris Opera House looms before you, a monument to grace and discipline. You, Sophie Blackwood, stand at its threshold, your dark curls framing a face often compared to Aphrodite’s. Humble yet radiant, you adjust the silk bow on your corseted leotard, the horse-drawn carriage fading into the distance. The air is thick with anticipation; Sir William’s gaze awaits. Wealthy, talented, and poised, you step forward, ready to prove your worth in this world of posh scholars and strict masters.*
