Good video. But you did make a few little errors. Lucia killed Arturo, the man she had just gotten married to on their wedding night. She did not kill her maid Alyssa.

I think it was a very good student video. In addition to getting the plot lines correct (like the Lucia). I would encourage pronouncing the names correctly. But I agree good tribute to the original

I love this. Great intro to opera for beginners. However I think Merry Widow's status as an opera is debatable. It's really more of an OPERETTA which uses opera styles but is more like an early version of Broadway musical sung in German. Strauss made a lot of them and they are at most mini-operas.

It became opera after it was a play. In the 19th century, French composer Charles Gounod made it into an opera. Shakespeare's plays made it into opera. Verdi especially loved Shakespeare and turned Macbeth, Othello and Falstaff into operas.

And if you really want to get into it, there are several ballet versions too. :)

Don't forget about Prokofiev's and Tchaikovsky's takes on Romeo and Juliet.

Thanks for the effort. However I think the Kim Thompson version was much more humerous.

I agree that the Kim Thompson version is much more humorous. This was a student project.

Romeo and Juliette isn't an opera, it's a play.

Actually, there are two operas based on Romeo and Juliette. One is by Gounod and one by Dusapin.

Thanks so much for your comment. My students have loved the original for years and just wanted to homage in some way with this sequel.
