The opera house in Florence, the 'Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino', has changed the ending of Carmen to adjust to our times.
SPOILER ALERT: Inspired by , the Italian director Leo Muscato changed the ending of Bizet's master piece: "In the revised final scene the gypsy cigar-maker is stabbed by her spurned lover, Don José, but manages to grab a pistol and shoot him, revolutionising the dénouement of Bizet’s opera in a version to be staged in Florence from Sunday."

Just when you thought Belgian people are crazy about cycling.. it turns out Dutch people need their heroes as well!

Mr. Dumoulin, which patriotically translates to Mr. "Of the Windmill", will be written an opera about. Depending on his result in the Time Trial during the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the libretto will be altered. How contemporary!

Intriguing endeavor to acquire a larger public for opera? Or consumerism in opera-form?

http://nos.nl/artikel/2087432-tom-dumoulin-krijgt-eigen-opera.html

De voorstelling gaat in première op dinsdag 10 augustus, de dag van de olympische tijdrit. Hoe het verhaal afloopt, hangt af van het resultaat in Rio.
