Woody Allen is slated to direct Puccini’s “Gianni Schicchi” for L.A. Opera’s 2008-09 season.
L.A. Opera general director Plácido Domingo courted Woody Allen for four years before he finally agreed to direct his first opera. According to Allen, “I have no idea what I am doing, but incompetence has never prevented me from plunging in with enthusiasm.”
Diane Keaton will play Lauretta (just kidding!)
