CHS doesn't like ruining games, necessarily, but we do find a smidgen of delight in turning the tables on supposed game-masters. Seattle Opera says you Capitol Hill people might want to pay attention to the clues in its treasure hunts over the next few weeks:

Seattle Opera is excited to announce a four-week treasure hunt for free tickets to our upcoming production of Orpheus and Eurydice, starting this Monday. Tickets will be hidden at locations around town, and though we’re keeping the specifics top-secret (of course!) we can hint that the location of at least one of the pairs of tickets will be of interest to your Capitol Hill-area readers…wink wink.

The first clue has been posted with more clues through the week, if necessary:

When you've figured out where in Seattle the tickets are hidden, your job is to journey forth and use the password posted here to entreat the Furies at each location to yield up their treasure (during business hours only!). Please read the full details and rules here.

And now, as promised, we reveal the first clue. Further clues will follow each day this week until the tickets are found. 

CLUE #1

Allegedly inspired during a flight of the “I’m-on-a-rolla-Gay”

PASSWORD #1

"Green Mountain"Orphée et Eurydice

Unfortunately, not only can we not name the business, we don't even know if week 1's pick-up point is on Capitol Hill. Very sneaky, Seattle Opera.

I'm-on-a-rolla-Gay
About 60 seconds of Google dug up the fact that this is the name of Krusty's plane in the episode Bart the Fink.

I think the "inspired by" part is related to this quote from the episode:

"Krusty: But I love that plane! I used to fly to Vegas in it with
Dean Martin. One time we were flyin' in it, and the moon hit
his eye like a big pizza pie! We wrote a song about it!
But it ended up infringing on one he recorded years before."

Which is the song "That's Amore"

Amore Infused was a restaurant downtown, but it burnt down. Moon makes me think maybe Molly's?

Fun game! I am excited about the opera for the first time in my entire life.

Unless you're the one who picked up the tickets at That's Amore in Mt Baker earlier this evening, it sounds like you should have listened to your own advice. You had it solved almost 24 hours before the tickets were claimed.

Good thing that Seattle's a small place
I hope the tickets are larger than normal.

If the Symphony had any interest in broadening their tiny base
they'd hide tickets in S. Seattle

But the symphony is only for yuppie white fokes, so Capitol Hill it is

Good thing this is for the Opera, then, and not the Symphony.
