When I played in a production of The Magic Flute, the setting had been changed to the USA in the 1970's. There were drug references (Magic Flute?) and so on. It was entertaining.
The Bernstein I performed in was Trouble in Tahiti. There's a DVD available now. Anyway, I had a nifty solo with the tenor lead at one point--he's supposed to be acting all macho in a locker room, but the guy who sang it is EXTREMELY gay. Good times.
