Is this better or worse than the hip-hopization of one of Mozart's operas?

This sounds like something that might come out of Hollywierd these days.

The Cinderella story goes back to Aincient times. It's not tied to any particular era. They do stuff like this with Shakespeare all the time as well. No big deal.

Interesting. I saw "The Magic Flute" in a Native American adaptation once.

Like the composer's family, I am "seriously annoyed" by these efforts to drag great works through the mud.

But thanks for the ping: nothing like getting seriously annoyed first thing on a Sunday morning!!

I find the jerking around of times and places of operas and plays infantile and a little desperate.
