	The Castafiore Emerald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Castafiore Emerald (Les Bijoux de la Castafiore) is one of a series of classic comic-strip albums, written and illustrated by Belgian writer and illustrator Hergé, featuring young reporter Tintin as a hero.
		Shortly afterwards, Bianca Castafiore, famous opera Diva and scourge of the Captain decides to invite herself to Marlinspike for a holiday.
		Upon hearing of Bianca's impending visit, Haddock rushes to pack for a trip to Italy, figuring that now would be a good time to visit that country, which he had always avoided precisely to avoid Bianca.

	Brightsurf: The Castafiore Emerald (The Adventures of Tintin) by Herge
		THE CASTAFIORE EMERALD may in many ways be Herg's masterpiece, and it is unquestionably the funniest of all his tales, revolving as it does on the theme of miscommunication ("No, this is not Cutts the butcher!").
		Naturally at the very heart of it is the Milanese Nightingale herself, Bianca Castafiore, the world's greatest opera star, who deigns to descend upon the only two people in the world who cannot bear to hear her sing, Tintin and Captain Hamhock (er, Haddock).
		Castafiore and her entourage cause the Captain no end of irritation, but the real adventure comes when her prize jewelry goes missing and it is up to Tintin to unravel the mystery.

		Meanwhile, Captain Haddock's life continues to be a string of minor misfortunes and misunderstands thanks to Castafiore, Professor Calculus, the parrot, Thompson and Thomson, and the unwillingness of the local repairman to come out and fix that step.
		Many humorous incidents ensue as Bianca is hounded by the press and ends up losing her fabulous emerald.
		The visiting opera singer Bianca Castafiore is followed by journalists and her equivocal attitude to the press is hilarious - she embraces one magasine yet hates another simply because she didn't like one of the pictures of her which was published in it.

		Castafiore is a vain figure of fun, but also strong and much smarter than she appears to be.
		Castafiore's famous for her recitation of a tune (act 3, scene 6 -- thank you for the pointer, March 1999 opera mag "Diapason") in Gounod's "Faust." Like the tidbit from "La Wally" in 1981's movie "Diva," we get the same handful of notes over and over.

		In spite of this, or because of this, McCarthy seems rather fond of the Captain, and in books full of not only humour but gags, Haddock, he says, not only makes a fine Situationist prankster, but his repetitive slapstick tripping over things and his continual Baudelarian falling is against life itself.
		In a world where Tintin is seen as all action and innocence, the chapter that will raise eyebrows most is "Castafiore's Clit".
		As Tintin connoisseurs will be aware, Frederic Tuten worked through issues of Tintin's manhood in Tintin in the New World, where the boy finally gets to use his penis and becomes a husband and father.
