What's Opera, Doc?

Remember that fantastic Bugs Bunny cartoon parodying Wagner (“Kill the wabbit...Kill the wabbit...”)? I think Woody Allen must’ve been watching that and reminiscing about his redubbing hijinks from What's Up, Tiger Lily? and thought he’d skip the middle man.

Allen will be directing Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi for the LA Opera in 2008.

According to the LA Opera: “I have no idea what I am doing,” said Mr. Allen, “but incompetence has never prevented me from plunging in with enthusiasm.”
