increasingly tempted to do a thread of operas certain cql characters should not see together. i have a couple of ideas, but if there are any groupings of characters you’d like to see, drop them here.
operas cql characters should not see together: a thread
there are a lot of operas 3zun probably shouldn't see together, but 'pelléas et mélisande' would probably make for a very uncomfortable evening

nmj and lxc would probably have extremely different takeaways from 'la clemenza di tito,' no matter what staging they saw
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_clemenza_di_Tito
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_clemenza_di_Tito
(lxc in seclusion would probably have a pretty rough time with this particular double bill and staging of 'iolanta' and 'bluebeard's castle' at the met) https://www.metopera.org/user-information/synopses-archive/iolanta-bluebeard-castle
the lan brothers should absolutely not go see 'lucia di lammermoor' together
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucia_di_Lammermoor
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucia_di_Lammermoor
the nie brothers probably shouldn't see any of the ring cycle together, but 'die walküre' might be particularly awkward

i don't think either wwx or jc would have fun at 'les pêcheurs de perles' https://www.metopera.org/user-information/synopses-archive/les-pecheurs-de-perles
lwj and jc would have a very fraught evening together at 'la forza del destino'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_forza_del_destino
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_forza_del_destino
'l'enfant et les sortilèges' would be funny for xy, wwx, and jgy until it wasn't
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27enfant_et_les_sortil%C3%A8ges
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27enfant_et_les_sortil%C3%A8ges
jin ling, lan xichen, and nie huaisang would have an Extremely Interesting Time at 'un ballo in maschera'

and to wrap things up - please imagine the nightmare double date of wangxian and xiyao go to 'tristan und isolde'
