Graf Cagliostro
Graf Cagliostro ('Count Cagliostro') is a comic opera in two acts by Mikael Tariverdiev, written in 1981 to a libretto by Nikolai Kemarsky, after the tale of the same name by Alexei Nikolayevich Tolstoy.
Tolstoy's novella, based on the quack Cagliostro, was updated by composer and librettist so that it impinges on the modern world, (and uses modern musical style). Tariverdiev wrote:
In writing 'Graf Cagliostro' I wanted to create a brand new genre of comic opera. I decided to return to the standard voices and traditional forms of opera buffa, with arias, secco recitative, developed in lively acts - but, of course, in a contemporary way.[1]

gollark: I think I remember reading about some "modules" thing clang was doing for C.
gollark: In the languages/tooling I use you mostly just import things and it automagically™ adds them to the compile.
gollark: Well, it might, if it existed, which it doesn't.
gollark: Did you know it can do:- full text search- efficient geospatial lookups- multi-terabyte databases- window functions, virtual tables and other nice SQL features- queries involving multiple databases- user-defined functions- recursive table definitions (allowing for accursedness like mandelbrot things)- diffing of databases- small blob lookup faster than the filesystem- JSON queries???!?!?!?!
gollark: SQLite is in fact EXTREMELY based, with a pH in excess of 12.
