Oddly enough I was checking my e-mail this morning at work (yes after reading this site) and there was a review of Verdi's MacBeth. It seems it is playing at the Met. The review can be read here:

I don't know if you have to be a subsciber or not to read the article.

Thanks for the link, Sara! Now *I* am thinking of seeing the work. Of course I'd go kilted, but a PC is something I'd never wear to the opera...or anywhere else, for that matter.
I haven't been to the opera in many years. This piece sounds like a nice excuse to experience it again.

Have fun, PC or not!!! I always thought that the right sweater can make one look classy as well!
Enjoy!

That Looney Tunes episode actually uses material from two different operas, both by Richard Wagner.
The “Kill the Wabbit!” tune is “The Ride of the Valkyries” from the opera “”Die Walküre” the second opera of the “Das Ring des Nibelungen”. aka the Ring Cycle, NOT to be mistaken for J. R. R. Tolkien’s trilogy 
The second melody (the love song with Bugs in drag) is the “Pilgrims’ Chorus from “Tannhäuser”.
well... I am a music major.

I believe Bugs Bunny also sang along to Rossini's The Barber of Seville (Il barbiere di Siviglia) and Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro (Le nozze di Figaro, ossia la folle giornata) (both based on a series of plays written by Pierre Beaumarchais about the life of Figaro: Le Barbier de Séville, Le Mariage de Figaro, and La Mère coupable).

It's nice to see that some others have enjoyed the same rich cultural delights as I!
"The Rabbit of Seville" is a classic.
Ok, all of the old Looney Tunes are classic.
