MARY CASSATT: THE OPERA

The Marriage of Figaro

Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back
and, instead of bleeding, he sings.

The Magic Flute

An unalterable

of French operas
sung by Swedish artists
should be translated
into Italian for
the clearer understanding
of English-speaking audiences.
--Edith Wharton
