1962: “Il compositore Joseph Kosma … ha composto un’opera con musica elettronica, rappresentata a Berlino, in cui viene cantato l’amore di una donna per un robot.” (Thanks to A7Sogno for sending this clip!)

    Wow. That was something, alright.

    Once again, the first question and the last, is: What do women WANT? Clearly it isn’t to be made love to, since the robot cannot do that. They want to be made to feel loved, and men are not up to that because they get tired, hungry, or they have to hunt something or repair something or go to the office. Robots, with programmable emotions, are the obvious solution.

    This could make for very intense full length opera. The rob has a metal hump on his back, but she is a bitter countess whose husband is off hunting, and she loves the rob because he makes her feel young, even though she is 300 years old. (And she runs a bar in California.) When the rob goes backstage she realizes he beheaded her first lover (who was a bearded Turkish diva) in a duel over a swan in rural Russia. He comes back onstage and removes his robot head, which is a tarnhelm, and he is a blond sailor with a stutter, and they fly away on wires to Modena in the desert of Louisiana
