Last time I was in Florida I had a lot of free time on my hands, and I used that time to make some silly videos. This time I have been trying to learn an opera in my free time, so there hasn’t been as much of a chance for silliness. However, I know that now it is expected, nay, demanded that I make a ridiculous opera parody video starring my castmates, and so I created what you are about to see today.
Whereas the tragedy of Rigoletto seemed to fit well with Bob Dylan, the light, short, comic opera Gianni Schicchi almost begged for a disco dance number, with a rap in the middle. Who am I to argue with the music? So I now present to you – Le Schicch: The Ballad of Gianni Schicchi.
