Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Oh, yeah, "Moulin Rouge" is a big redo of "La Traviata". Verdi wrote that, right? I can never remember.

Turandot is Puccini, yes? Loved that.
Favorite opera? Hard call. I love the sheer over-the-top nutball-ness of Lucia.

Yeah, they only talk about hyper-cool indie people I've never heard of.
I love the music of Turandot, but the story's annoying. Never could accept the servant girl offing herself
