A night at the opera: toon and real

I guess I am not unusual in admitting that my introduction to Western classical music and operas were through cartoon characters.  It was only later that I got to hear/watch the real thing.  "The Barber of Seville" is one of those ...

First up, Woody Woodpecker



An even more impressive performance by Bugs Bunny:



Those fearless fighting foes, Tom and Jerry:



And a real opera performance:



Yes, of course I borrowed the title from Groucho Marx's crazy movie :)
