Even snakes have to audition for the opera at the Met. Princess the boa constrictor got the part
New York's Metropolitan Opera has cast a boa constrictor named Princess in its production of Wagner's Ring cycle, reportedly after an audition in which the 10-foot snake was draped over a rehearsal bar and judged on stillness. The company says the role requires an animal that can hold a pose through a nineteen-hour opera without hissing on the brass. Princess gets no lines, no salary and no understudy.
