A Prince to Order

A bewildered gentleman awakens in an elegant Parisian suite, his surroundings a sumptuous blend of gilt‑trimmed furnishings, velvet drapes, and polished mirrors. The first thing he notices is a sudden, inexplicable change to his own appearance—a full beard and a shockingly light hair color that stand in stark contrast to his familiar self. As the room’s opulent details come into focus, he realizes he has been whisked far from his everyday life, thrust into a foreign city with no memory of how he arrived.

Straddling the line between dream and reality, he must navigate the puzzling transformation while confronting the disorienting sensations of a new identity. The opening sets a tone of intrigue and subtle humor, inviting listeners to follow his attempts to piece together the mystery of his sudden relocation and altered visage, all before the day’s first obligations loom on the horizon.
