Not yet. Wagner is only done by the largest opera houses here in the US.
Mikaela:
I'm curious about this. Where have these finds been made? During which time of the viking period were they buried? Could you link us to any articles or archeological websites about it?
I must admit that I am surprised, given the Norse laws' and Norse literary sources' seemingly firm bias against homosexuality (and against men wearing women's clothes and vice versa). My first guess would have been that these persons in the graves were siblings or "blood-brothers", but if DNA has confirmed they were not related, there certainly is room for new interpretations of the Vikings!

Just curious, what other operas are common on smaller stages?

i read about this on the swedish daily newspapers webpage. www.svd.se Unfortantly I haven´t been able to find it again, sence the news have been archived. and I haven´t figure out how to search the archive the best way. (the swedish webpages, have strange search functions, it either gives you 10000 of hits in different directions or 0 hits.)
