In 1977, José Ernesto Díaz-Noriega made a humorous and iconoclastic soundtrack version of Nosferatu, entitled 'Manuscript Found in Zarazwela' or 'Nos fera tu la pugnete'. Using a copy of the English version in Super 8, and "observing the curious coincidence of the fiction told in the film with history", Díaz Noriega adapted the vampire plot to the years of the Spanish Transition, turning Arias Navarro into Draculas Navarro, Juan Carlos de Borbón into Jonathan Carolus (prince of Franconia) and Santiago Carrillo into Jacobus Carrillus. The original Transylvania becomes Galicia and the Pazo de Meirás becomes the vampire's castle. All of Murnau's characters find an equivalence in the political actors of the Transition.

Live from ROH 1985. Giordano's Andrea Chenier is one of the greatest of verismo operas, full of heart-stopping big tunes and powerful emotional situations. If it is not as well-known as it should be, it is because in summary it sounds a little too like Puccini's Tosca: there is a tussle between political opponents over a woman, an attempt to save a condemned man, a tenor aria about writing poetry on the eve of execution. The difference is that Gerard (Giorgio Zancanaro) is not a villain like Scarpia, he is an idealist whom the French Revolution has betrayed as much as it has his rival the poet Chenier (Placido Domingo). His temptation to abuse his power to seduce the virtuous Maddalena (Anna Tomowa-Sintow) is a momentary one, though its consequences are terrible. There is a streak of post-Wagnerian decadence in much of this--Maddalena is at least as much in love with death as she is with Chenier, and the final love duet has a deeply sinister aspect. -- From Amazon.co.uk
