It came to my attention that in opera "Moby-Dick" [1], there are no singing or dancing parts for Moby-Dick.

It came to my attention that in opera "Moby-Dick" [1], there are no singing or dancing parts for Moby-Dick. That's the biggest outrage since Roman Viktyuk play "Master and Margarita" (2001), if you are catching my drift.

Moby-Dick is my hero and was always an inspiration for me. He a white bull Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus) "Кашалот" [2], the largest that ever lived. Any of the three tenors could sing for him (they all look the part), or better yet all three should sing and dance together, similar to the train part in Boris Eifman's ballet "Anna Karenina" (premiered 2005) [3]

It goes without saying that under no circumstances will we watch this abomination, until they put Moby-Dick back into "Moby-Dick".
