Opera or Operetta :: 3 operas by one of America's most important composers. Fables - Five Very Short Operas - Comedy and pathos alternate in an operatic setting of five fables by Jean de la Fontaine (the French Aesop). Bertha - A One Act Opera - Based on a short satirical play by Kenneth Koch. The text hilariously lampoons Shakespeare's history plays, and in turn our own civilised barbarity. Three Sisters Who Are Not Sisters - An Opera in Three Scenes - Derived from Gertrude Stein's black humoured melodrama of five children's sinister games.
