I want to see an opera which has Froggie on top of his clock singing while he tortures Hans Conried or Billy Gilbert, while Midnight and Squeeky saw away as the orchestra, and Andy or Smilin’ Ed stand around laughing(while singing.) Of course there would have to musical commercials for sugar pops and tootsie rolls and Buster Brown shoes. I suppose Charlie Sheen could write some gross out songs for the moppets, like “Who barfed in the fish bowl,” or “Who cut the cheese.”
I think any opera that featured farts and burps would be a big draw in the 2-6 year old set. Well for boys I imagine there is no age limit, but girls shy away from fart jokes for a few years before secretly coming around to realize how funny they really are. Go ahead, take a look at these:

Yep. From opera to farts. Or as Ofelps said, “Who cut the cheese.”
Now you know what life with a “sweet boy” is really like.
I didn’t have a television, but Rigoletto was my first opera (aged about 9 or 10). I was definitely won!
Oh no, I’m not “complaining” – please don’t say that of me. It was fantastic not having a television! I got to see so many plays and hear so much music!
