I mean.... conceivably, it could turn into an article on the 18th century Reception of Tacitus or something... I don't know. Someday, maybe!
The problem with the Rimsky-Korsakov is that is an insanely obscure opera (who knew that there were insanely obscure Rimsky-Korsakov operas? But I guess the giant spectacle melodrama on an obscure classical subject doesn't age well....?) and just about everything about it is in Russian. But I am trying to figure stuff out!
(I also could have sworn that I found a 19th century painting of Servilia and her father tragically dying, but now I can't find it at all!)
