OPERA
1: A fat lady singing doesn't necessarily mean that it's over.
2: "Giuseppe Verdi," in English, is "Joe Green."
3: Singing peasants, villagers and/or gypsies signify that a major character will arrive onstage soon or at least by next Tuesday.
4: Opera glasses can also be used at operettas.
5: Wearing your Minnesota Vikings "Helga" hat to The Valkyrie* will not inspire the tenor to try for a two point conversion.
6: Even though it's an opera about clowns, there's no scene in Pagliacci where lots of them get out of a tiny car.
7: Anything not in Bugs Bunny's What's Opera, Doc?
*Bonus Valkyrie factoid: Wotan is not the Norse God of Chinese take-out soup.
