quote: ORIGINAL: Beezle quote: that's an opera called "Boris Godunov" by Gergiev No no no. You hca fallen into a common mistake for those unfamiliar opera. "Boris" was actually a parody of the earlier opera "The Pearl Fishers go Hawaiian" which was set in Badenough Island. Bizet had a vacation home there. (Bizet was a big fan of Deep Sea Fishing. Which explains a lot). The Pearl Fishers go Hawaiian was remade yet again in the 1960s as one of the Gidget movies. Ok now that is the most surreal post I've seen here for soooome time.

Hi there is also an Opera Boris Godunov by Modest Mussorgsky. The Libretto is based on Alexander Pushkin's play by that title. I've always liked Mussorgsky because he was a soldier who drank too much and on the side produced wonderful music.
