| If you're willing to dip a toe into an actual opera giocoso, I've always had a soft spot for Donizetti's "Le convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali," which follows an opera company's hapless attempt to stage a new production. (There's an English-language version called "Viva la Mamma.") | |

| Going back to early in the previous century, there was a huge hit comedy, Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines that had an opera diva as the heroine. The role made a star of Ethel Barrymore. There have been several musical adaptations over the years. | |

| There have been several musical adaptations over the years. Including an opera (by Jack Beeson), naturally...;-) |

| Well, if we are going to go there, how about La Tosca by Victorien Sardou. | |
