If you're intrigued by opera with a Minnesota spin, you might want to check out this staging of Rossini's "Barber of Seville," to be offered this summer by Duluth Festival Opera: the setting will be Roaring '20s Duluth, on a fictitious estate somewhere in the Zenith City, with Count Almaviva recast as a local rich kid.
Of course (Scrabble players take note), you could add just two letters to that opera's title, and set it in another Minnesota municipality. . . .
