...Missing Heiress. The eight operas, created for the court theater of Haydn's patron, Prince Nicolaus Esterhazy, are mostly free-wheeling romps, light on drama but buoyed by richly melodious scores. Le Pescatrici is a kind of seagoing Cinderella. A handsome prince moors his ship at a small fishing village. He is in search of the long-lost heiress to the Benevento throne, who was spirited away as a baby, after her father's assassination. For reasons of state, the prince wants to marry her. Two fisherwomen immediately claim to be the princess, fall all over themselves seeking...
...Other Prince. Thrifty Dutchmen also noted disapprovingly that Beatrix, the richest heiress on the Continent,* picked a fiance with no private fortune. Son of an impoverished Prussian Junker, Von Amsberg worked his way through the University of Hamburg and up through the German Foreign Service to an administrative post in Bonn. Known to fellow diplomats as a Streber (go-getter), he is fond of fast cars-though an aging Porsche is all he can afford on a $400-a-month government salary.

...horror of hallucinogens, where one feels the vomit recede back down the throat through massive pressure from neck muscles. The Valentino Dream of sexual power gone wild as Rojack somersaults with the maid while his wife's corpse empties its intestines on the upstairs rug; the Dream of the Heiress polluted by Deborah's guileful malevolence; The Alger Dream of self-made empires gone rotten in her father's diabolic machinations; The Westerner Dream of the loner on the borderlines of society perverted now by the company he must keep; The Dreams of the Con Man, The Urban Gangster...
