My strategy is to just put what I want to see in the form. So it is always like, the Louis Riel opera and Rusalka.

One thing I'm sure of is that they will never do "Louis Riel" again! It's so a product of Canadian national angst in the 1960s. It's all about French vs English, Protestants vs=Catholics. That Indigenous people are involved is largely acccidental!

Oh darn, I thought there was a good one that came out of Manitoba more recently? Idk it just does seem like a good subject for an opera.

There was a Riel opera that came out of Manitoba recently that was positively reviewed. Comments in private were less positive.

Third time's the charm!

PS: Was just thinking, someone should write an opera about Gorgeous George. My friend always says it is the only story in wrestling, like our ur-myth.
