    Hilarious

    Enjoyed this many times. Anywhere I can get the words, I'm going dead and my DVD doesn't have subtitles?

    A hilarious send-up of just about every great Opera you can think of

    PDQ Bach's only full length opera. Based in unequal parts on just about every famous Mozart opera you can think of from Don Giovanni to Cosi fan tutti to The Abduction from the Seraglio and the Marriage of Figaro Professor Peter Schickele once again proves that only PDQ Bach could write an opera with references to everything from Star Wars to the Maltese Falcon, Wagner's Valkyrie, Swan Lake, Peter Pan and Dragnet. If you have never seen an opera then this is proof that not all operas are stodgy overlong and boring. I won't give away any of the plot but suffice it to say that if you see this opera then you will become familiar with the plot devices of most of Mozart's Operas. Someone even tells me that there is a reference to the Flight of the Bumbleebee in the music somewhere.

    Contains spoken introduction to the production by Prof. Peter Schickele himself.
