CHINCHILLA (1981)
Libretto: Don Moreland
opera in three acts

In 1928 New York an American stockbroker and a Latin American diplomat,
best friends, are each seeing the other's wife. In token to the
diplomat's recall to his native land, each man buys a chinchilla
coat for his lover and for his wife. The misdelivery of the coats,
each with attached love note, explodes the intrigue in this jazzy
romp. |
