[Dragaera] Source of a line

Vlad has certainly talked about going to the theater on occasion. Teckla 
has some examples, and Tiassa does as well.

However, I do not recall any instance in the Drageraverse (prior to 
Lyorn) where a play was said to be accompanied by musical orchestration, 
and I'm certain the line you are describing is not from Lyorn.

The closest I can come up with is this nugget (from Lyorn):

"There is nothing quite like an orchestra tuning up. It is discordant 
and annoying, and yet it generates anticipation; there is a promise 
there, that from the meaningless noise will emerge its opposite. If I 
were an Athyra, I'd find there some kind of metaphor for life. But I'm 
just an Easterner who used to be a Jhereg; we don't find metaphors, we 
just sell onions."
