The Ghosts of Versailles - A Grand Opera Buffa suggested by the Beaumarchais play The Guilty Mother
This "opera within an opera" has been recognized as a masterpiece. Featuring the music of John Corigliano, this heartening drama tells of the playwright Beaumarchais who has fallen in love with the melancholy Marie-Antoinette, still mourning her execution. He announces his intention to save the queen by rewriting history in a dramatic production.
