		Space opera is one of the grand traditions of literary science-fiction.
		Of course, horse operas are pretty much restructed to rifles, pistols, and the occasional Gatling gun, while the space opera can hurl whole solar systems into different continua.
		Interactive space opera has tended to follow the Star Wars pattern: lots of arcade action, speed, bells and whistles, and little attention toor reflection upon what actual interstellar combat might be like.

		Ten minutes into a phone conversation with Jane Smiley, whose new "Horse Heaven" is her third novel since the Pulitzer Prize-winning "A Thousand Acres," I hear the familiar click of call waiting on her end.
		"Horse Heaven" is full of such dramas: Emergency veterinary surgery on a birthing mare; a triumphant come-from-behind victory at a French race track; a father pulling his son out of school on a weekly basis to play the ponies.
		Smiley paints on a broad canvas, but she explains that it all started with horses; specifically, it all started with her own horse, who in "Horse Heaven" becomes an old gelding with a famous past named Mr.

		Puccini's 1910 work, the first opera ever to have its world première at the New York Met, was adapted from David Belasco's stage chestnut of 1905.
		It's set in the mountainous wilds of California during the gold rush, and the plot takes the form of a triangle between the title character, the pure-hearted Minnie, and the two men who love her.
		The Arizona production, which moves from Tucson to Symphony Hall in Phoenix for the weekend, is mounted on an impressive set, with steeply raked platforms and mountainous backdrops and fake snow flurries creating a nice sense of precarious verticality.

		It is a demanding role, and if she did not always hold a stable tone on opening night or milk the rich vocal interplay with the orchestra, she did bring considerable passion to the character, particularly in the crucial second act, when she cheats at cards to save her man.
		An old joke among opera aficionados is that there is only one plot in opera: the tenor would like to make out with the soprano, but the baritone gets in the way.

		Like today's movie audiences, opera lovers flocked to all the newest works; older material was stuff for specialists, or something to see when nothing new was around.
		Instead of the captains, kings, heroes and gods of operas from Monteverdi to Giuseppe Verdi, verismo operas concern peasants, con men and itinerant actors and their dirty, petty lives.
		Puccini's operas are loved for their emotional sincerity, and their deep poignance that results from an unprecedented melodic tension.

		Spirit tells of wild horses romping across the unsettled West circa 1880, but it's not mere tall tale; rather, it feels as though it's intended to act as fable, a metaphor for slavery and the Holocaust.
		If so, it's a daring gambit--and also a clumsy one, because the filmmakers are unable or unwilling to merge the lightweight (for the children) and the heavy (for their parents).
		Spirit's too scared to be contemplative, too cowardly to be quiet, and so the magical or memorable moments--the birth of the horse, the "death" of a mare, the reunion of old friends--are mundane and laughable.

		White Horse Opera, which treads the boards not (pace the photographs) outdoors in wild megalithic Wiltshire, but indoors at the Devizes Corn Exchange, has staged a number of effective home-grown productions in recent years, including Saint-Saens' Samson and Delilah, Rossini's Count Ory and (last season) Mozart's The Magic Flute.
		The orchestral playing under Eric Wetherell, who shrewdly judged each pacing just right for both the opera and his singers, seemed a first rate team effort.
		White Horse Opera's next opera will be Johann Strauss's Die Fledermaus on 17, 19 and 20 October 2001.

	Peter Stanfield / Horse Opera
		Hard hit by the depression, faced with the threat--and often the reality--of dispossession and dislocation, pressured to adapt to new ways of living, these small-town filmgoers saw their ambitions, fantasies, and desires embodied in the singing cowboy and their social and political circumstances dramatized in "B" Westerns.
		Cowboy songs offered an alternative to the disruptive modern effects of jazz music, while the series Western--tapping into aesthetic principles shunned by the aspiring middle class--emphasized stunts, fist fights, slapstick comedy, disguises, and hidden identities over narrative logic and character psychology.
		Entertaining and thought-provoking, Horse Opera recovers not only the forgotten cowboys of the 1930s but also their forgotten audiences: the ordinary men and women whose lives were brightened by the sights and songs of the singing Western.

		But in this he falls short of D'Annunzio himself, who declared that his "highly polished cranium," as a thing of beauty, could be ranked with a greyhound or the legs of Actress Ida Rubinstein.
		One of the worst pieces of horse opera to find a U. publisher, D'Annunzio runs to 583 pages, carries conviction in none of them.
		To U. readers it is a striking demonstration of Author Antongini's ability to write much and say little, an even more striking demonstration of his ability to get het up over trifles.

		Influenced by Lipský's screenwriter's previous work in animation and drawing on central Europe's fascination with the American West, Limonádovy Joe is a riotous muscial parody of the western.
		What amazed me about it was the scene in which both the hero and his horse disappeared behind a small tree (the hero peeped out again but the horse apparently vanished into thin air).
		Joe is nothing if not simpleminded, but is still able to foil a bank raid with his casual under the arm shooting.
