Opera Goes Under The Knife

I’ve been waiting for years for somebody to turn Ryan Murphy‘s highly original TV series “Nip/Tuck” into a musical. It hasn’t happened yet; meanwhile, cosmetic surgery is getting (to my knowledge) its first opera. It’s called “Skin Deep,” and boosters couldn’t resist billing it as “a satirical opera-tion.” Penis extensions figure into the libretto. As the mock-diva Anna Russell used to say, “I am not making this up.”
