It's an funny old world
The land of the Opera In my search for foreign films, one thing I realized early on is that despite being the land of Opera , both in writers and performers, Italy has virtually no film industry, and what it does produce is mainly gangster movies. For the last few days, I have been trying to think of the name of an opera. I knew the leading character is a lady with a fierce spirit, and I knew it wasn't Carmen , I was certain the opera was set in either Spain , or Cuba , but I had difficulty in finding it. Tonight, I found the answer to my question - no wonder I couldn't find it before - what I was looking for is Tosca , which is set in Rome .
