White Shirt Monday: #MezzosForTheApocalypse 9

[Yes, a slightly rumple white shirt (tie optional) is still the go-to Apocalypse Mezzo Fashion. Bring it on, then. – Anna Bonitatibus (Sesto) in Mozart’s “La clemenza di Tito”, Brussels 2013]

…

How does Sesto fair as in the #MezzosForTheApocalypse scenario?

Special Skills: causing drama everywhere. – He had One Job. At first, he didn’t want to do it. Then he complained about it. Then he did it all wrong. Then he complained about it some more. All the drama might throw the zombie armies off his trail.

Swagger Level: not even with a knife in hand. But the singing! #Guardami!

Chances of Survival: minimal, but he doesn’t here- he is content that his bossy girlfriend survives. Would probably stab himself in the foot with his own dagger before even leaving camp to move against the zombies. He would sing a beautiful existentialist aria about it, though. The zombies, upon meeting, might just pat him on the head, give him back his dagger (“pointy end outward, bro”) and move on (“Complicated kale brain. No carbs. Let’s move on.”)
