At first I said, Never! I dislike both fics when the main point is to describe a work of invented art, and those in which the best Muggle achievements turn out to be magical ones. But then I started thinking… was “The Selkie’s Bride” as seen by Bellatrix and the luckless Norwegian lad, an opera? Obviously not; it’s Ibsen wannabe:
Aashild: Your father, Erlend… your father… He was … from the sea.
Erlend: From … the sea?
Aashild: (Defiantly) Yes! Yes!
But my mind had been hopelessly corrupted. All that operatic chaos, disguise and cross-dressing cries out for magical interpretation. Imagine Figaro with polyjuice potion. Then there's the blood vengeance and madness of the tragedies. So there probably won’t be a fic aboutWizarding opera, but I suspect there may have to be one featuring it.
