Because I’m a library evangelist, I have to add that I got these tickets for free from the library.
Check if your library has a Discover Pass (it might be called a Culture Pass or Explore Pass). You can get free passes to zoos, museums, symphonies, operas, etc. It’s such a cool resource!

I always thought that she took on the role of “writer of operas” in part so she could always say “I was reading up on this.” Because in fact her specific knowledge also always far exceeded that of even other educated women.

Same sick remedy for me too. Except we lived on a military base in Canada which didn't have cable tv access there.
Antenna tv when you were sick meant horrible soap operas, and Coronation Street! I also hated flat ginger ale as I was a lousy impatient sick kid!

For no reason at all this morning, I am suddenly remembering (and feeling very nostalgic for) those screensavers from the late 90s/early 2000s. Those things were like mini-soap operas. There was one that had fish swimming around, but my fav was this one with a guy who was shipwrecked on an island.

Meant to say, I got hold of 'Les Troqueurs' & it's a delight - ta for the heads up!
When I was cataloguing it, I realised I already have a couple of operas by Dauvergne - 'Hercule Mourant' & this very listenable gem, which I misremembered as being written by someone else (apologies M. Dauvergne!):

In a literal form yes, for the visual homage, but I feel he owes more in this setpiece to some of the early Hong Kong Blood Operas by Corey Yuen and the works of Sam Peckingpah.
The slow motion ballet of bloodshed, each cut maintaining purpose and propulsion, it's the work of a master craftsman.

What with it being Amelia’s birthday (she’d be 35 if she was still alive) I’m thinking about the Ig Nobels today. We had tickets to go with friends in 2017; she was in the hospital so didn’t get to join us.
I’d love to go again but among the many things our “leader” cost us: it’s in Zurich now.

A lot of the criticisms I see about soap operas in general are sort of missing the point. They’re meant to be slow, they’re meant to be a bit repetitive. They’re made to air a full episode every single weekday all year round with maybe a couple days off for holidays. It’s fun background watching.

It probably doesn’t bode well for me as a dramatic composer that the operas I’ve listened to most, by far, is a set I have difficulty taking seriously as drama
