| Opera companies DO do them on occasion. And there are plenty of comic operas out there that are done all the time, so I don't think the issue of not being "serious" has much to do with it. (And Yeomen Of The Guard definitely is darker than the others as well.) Though I would say that operettas in general are less done by opera companies than other fare - it seems to me that while Fledermaus and Merry Widow are still pretty common, and occasionally an Offenbach operetta (La Perichole used to be done a lot more than it is now), there are a lot of operettas that never get done. |
