Murder at a masked ball.
76. Gustave III (Auber)
Category: 19th century opera
74. Kassya (Léo Delibes, Jules Massenet)
Here is an opera to warm the heart! Class war in Eastern Europe; a proletariat hero; a peasants' revolution; the nobility banished; the violent death of a woman seduced by luxury; and happiness in a humble cottage - all inspired by the inventor of masochism.
68. Re Lear (Antonio Cagnoni)
King Lear - where Edgar loves Cordelia, Edmund barely exists, the dramatist has little feeling for Shakespeare, and the composer lacks imagination? "Fie, fie, fie! pah, pah!"
