So you get one of these hot show-runner guys to come up with
a high-concept miniseries idea, with plenty of sex, violence,
and intrigue, and then team him up with a modern classical
composer, and they rework the show into a thirteen-episode
OPERA. Think Breaking Bad with baritones...

After all, a lot of classic operas HAVE lots of sex and
violence and intrigue, right? Maybe just adapt one of
those... |
|
| |
soooo.... what you're suggesting is a long modern opera with intermissions, televised. |
|
| |
According to Wikipedia there are 4 major opera composers alive currently, which seems to indicate that |
|
| |
a) there are also a number of minor opera composers, and |
|
| |
b) operas are being composed. |
|
| |
Also (c) that opera is not particularly popular. |
|
| |
The concept might not be too far off the mark, however;
several successful long-running series have done musical or
'opera' episodes, including Joss Whedon's 'Buffy the Vampire
Slayer'. A number of television actors and directors have
come up through New York's musical theatre scene. |

I was thinking that "Smash" was awfully similar to this. |
