Question: Are Fra Diavolo and Taverner operas?
Context: The Devil's Brother or Bogus Bandits or Fra Diavolo is a 1933 American Pre-Code comedy film starring Laurel and Hardy.  It is based on Daniel Auber's operetta "Fra Diavolo" about the Italian bandit Fra Diavolo. Les brigands ("The Bandits") is an opéra bouffe, or operetta, by Jacques Offenbach to a French libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy.  Meilhac and Halévy's libretto lampoons both serious (Schiller's play set to music by Verdi) and light theatre ("Fra Diavolo" and "Les diamants de la couronne" by Auber).  The plot is cheerfully amoral in its presentation of theft as a basic principle of society rather than as an aberration.  As Falsacappa, the brigand chieftain, notes: "Everybody steals according to their position in society".  The piece premiered in Paris in 1869 and has received periodic revivals in France and elsewhere, both in French and in translation. Taverner is an opera with music and libretto by Peter Maxwell Davies.  It is based on the life of the 16th-century English composer John Taverner, but in what Davies himself acknowledged was a non-realistic treatment.  The gestation for the opera dated as far back as 1956 during Davies's years in Manchester, and continued when he went to Princeton University in 1962.  Davies produced several instrumental works related to the opera during this gestation period, including the "Points and Dances from 'Taverner and the "Second Fantasia on John Taverner's "In Nomine"".  Davies had completed the opera in 1968, but lost parts of the score in a fire at his Dorset cottage in 1969, which necessitated recomposition. The opera was first performed by the Opéra-Comique at the Salle Ventadour in Paris on 28 January 1830 and an Italian version was prepared by Auber and Scribe for performance in London in 1857.  This contained new recitatives and arias, as well as expanding the roles of Fra Diavolo's accomplices. Geneviève-Aimé-Zoë Prévost, born in Paris in 1802, died there in 1861, was a French operatic soprano.  She created leading roles in some of the most notable French opéras comiques of the first half of the nineteenth century, including "Fra Diavolo" by Daniel Auber and "Le postillon de Lonjumeau" by Adolphe Adam. Diavolo | Architecture in Motion (simply known as Diavolo) is an American dance company founded by Jacques Heim in 1992.  The company's movement style encompasses modern dance, acrobatics, and gymnastics.  Diavolo has been based in Los Angeles ever since its founding, and has toured across the United States as well as Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Fra Diavolo (Italian for "Devil monk") is the name given to a spicy sauce for pasta or seafood.  Most versions are tomato-based and use chili peppers for spice, but the term is also used for sauces that include no tomato, or that use cayenne or other forms of pepper. Fra Diavolo (lit.  Brother Devil; 7 April 1771–11 November 1806), is the popular name given to Michele Pezza, a famous Neapolitan guerrilla leader who resisted the French occupation of Naples, proving an “inspirational practitioner of popular insurrection”.  Pezza figures prominently in folk lore and fiction.  He appears in several works of Alexandre Dumas, including "The Last Cavalier: Being the Adventures of Count Sainte-hermine in the Age of Napoleon", not published until 2007 and in Washington Irving's short story "The Inn at Terracina". The Adventures of Fra Diavolo (Italian: Fra' Diavolo ) is a 1942 Italian adventure film directed by Luigi Zampa and starring Enzo Fiermonte. Fra Diavolo (1771–1806) the Neapolitan guerrilla leader
