Captain Pronin at the Opera
Where, oh where did you go,
Golden days of my spring?
Ladies and gentlemen.
We have to interrupt the live broadcast of the Tchaikovsky opera Eugene Onegin.
Our next live broadcast of this opera will take place tomorrow at the same time.
"That is the eighth Lensky of the season," thought Pronin.
"It's time to act, but my gut is telling me that I won't be able handle it alone".
Agent #02 here.
I am about to embark upon Operation Opera.
Activate the support group. I will signal the start with a red rocket.
Where are you going, honey?
To the opera, dear.
What's on tonight?
Tonight, they are going to be giving testimonies.
OPERA AND BALLET THEATER
Help wanted to play Lensky. Inquire with the director.
[Missed my train. Trying to raise money for a ticket!]
I'll bring it back later.
One million, two million, three million... five... seven...
Come in!
Hello. I am here in response to your ad about Lensky.
Okay then. Sing something, maybe one of the classics.
Aria of Mister H by Kalman.
Flowers are shedding their petals in the sand
Nobody knows how lonely my road is
I have no affection in my life
and I don't hide my sadness
To always wear a helmet...
Oops.
To always wear a mask... is my destiny!
Unfortunately, you don't qualify.
First off, we already have a Lensky for tomorrow
Secondly, we need a lyrical bel canto and what you have is clear-cut coloratura bass.
So, figuratively speaking, why don't you just go back to where you came from?
[DIRECTOR]
"That was a complete flop," thought Pronin,
"Never has this happened to me before.
Still, I need to get to the crime scene, no matter what.
I need to get to the stage at all costs.
Well then, I've got take extreme measures."
Sorry, ma'am, what's on tonight?
Swan Lake.
Ahh!
Complete flop!
Flop! Complete flop!
And who are you guys?
We are Lenskys.
But you're all supposed to be dead!
That's what Pushkin wrote, but in reality, we're hiding here.
Our director came up with this trick.
We'd had a hard time getting people to come to the theater,
but now, since the first killing, the tickets are always sold out!
Madam... who would turn down the opportunity to see a real-life murder?
I've got it! The culprit is the director!
The culprit is apprehended.
He was in possession of a large sum of money, an aqualung, and a fake ID.
I figured you out right away, cop! But don't worry, we'll meet again.
In court.
Put your hands down!
The rest are not suspects. The criminal has been caught and neutralized.
Bravo! Encore! Etc.
Captain Pronin, sir! Sergeant Fillipuk reporting.
Hamlet sliced a famous actor with his sword in the theater this morning!
Well, Hamlet, just you wait!
