Capitol riots.

When Audrey Ann Southard took the stage at Carnegie Hall in 2012, she belted out an opera aria for a crowd inside the famed New York venue.

When she stormed into the U.S. Capitol in January, the FBI said, her audience was the police officers defending the building from a horde of Trump supporters.

“Tell Pelosi we’re coming for that b----,” video shows her screaming at officers, according to court documents. “There’s a hundred thousand of us, what’s it going to be?”

As with many of the hundreds now charged with participating in the attack on the Capitol, Southard’s own social media posts documenting her participation in the riots were key to the federal charges, the FBI said in court documents.

1. She should change her legal name to Brumhilde

[Aristus]

3. Brunnhilde was brave and headstrong, but she wasn't evil.

She was about the most pure-hearted character in all of Wagner's Ring Cycle.

6. Good point -- we'll call her Lady MacBeth then...

9. Maybe she could do the title role in Berg's "Lulu."

[Ocelot II]

2. She could have had a satisfying career in music.

She's probably too old to be an opera star, but according to the article she's a pretty good singer, so she might have been able to at least perform in local productions, keep teaching voice, and enjoy her life. Instead, she's probably going to jail. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...

5. I dunno. There's a long tradition of prison inmates mounting excellent

performances of The Mikado.

8. POST OF THE DAY!

I'm still chortling over this, BRAVO

[EYESORE 9001]

4. On the bright side

She can organize a helluva prison chorale.

7. Turns out the answer to "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" isn't...

..."Beat the crap out of cops."
