The Opera Job (for riddledthecity)
[Carrying over from this post.)
Music Meister’s been in contact with the Riddler ever since his dramatic rescue and by now they’ve got the heist neatly planned out. He’s sent Riddler lyrics (and later recordings) of the be-riddled song he plans to use on his victims, and the puzzles are so woven into the more normal lyrics that the Batman will have to work hard to even know they’re there. Now it’s time for their final preparations.
The address Music Meister gave Riddler will lead him to a closed theatre. The doors are boarded up, though the boards are painted black with window patterns in order to make them seem more attractive. For an abandoned building it seems to be in fairly good shape. The doors are locked, though the lock is easily picked. Behind the doors the lie is further exposed. The lobby and box office have been completely refurbished with an elegant cream and gold tiled floor and walls hung with framed posters for musicals and concerts. The doors leading into the theater itself are also shut, the better to keep the heat in and the wind out.

And then he stepped out onto the stage. There was the obligatory moment of shock and horror at this strange interloper, and Meister basked in it with arms outstretched.
"My apologies for the interruption, dear patrons, but you've got a much better show in store for you tonight."
He tapped the microphone headset and began to weave his enchanting tune. The audience wouldn't notice the riddles, of course, they wouldn't notice anything but the beautiful music compelling them to rise to their feet. A bit of cash and jewelry deposited on the stage wouldn't hurt, though it was hardly the goal, and Meister found their looks of rapture far more valuable.
Your cue, Riddler.
