Although the theme of the opera
might well be treated in a tragic light,
the humorous vein which courses
throughout the entire production is
never forgotten. and even when the

changes the tears to laughter as
though the opera stars are possessed
of magic wands.
Although oriental in costume and
setting. the production is extremely
American and modern in theme. In

fact that the law of Japan makes 1t
a crime punishable by death for MEM
