Will an opera novice snag the leading role...or the leading man? For a cocky young opera performer, there sure are a lot of things Charles has never done. Until he snags the title role in a new production of Debussy's impressionist opera Pelléas et Mélisande, he's never even played a part outside the men's chorus. Rehearsals are hell with a merciless director like Jean-Luc, but Charles' conversations with co-star Bo make the days bearable. In fact, things just keep getting better when the director finally admits that his artistic vision involves strong homoerotic overtones. Charles can get on board with that idea, on stage and also in his budding relationship with Bo, but in this domain, too, there are things Charles has never done. Can Bo assuage Charles' fears on his own, or will the director need to take charge once again?
