e/Regina (opera)

Information
has gloss	eng: Regina is an opera by Marc Blitzstein, to his own libretto based on the play The Little Foxes by Lillian Hellman. Blitzstein chose this source in order to make a strong statement against capitalism . In three acts, the musical style has been described as new American verismo, abounding in the use of spirituals, Victorian parlour music, dance forms, ragtime, aria and large, symphonic score . Borrowing from both opera and Broadway styles, in a manner similar to Leonard Bernsteins in Trouble in Tahiti and Virgil Thompsons in Three Saints in Four Acts, Regina has been said to straddle the line between entertainment and so-called serious music .
