The Barbara Seville

In this sequel to Die, Meistersinger!, the annual opera festival returns to the tiny European duchy of Allemonde, this time accompanied by an airshow at the local university. Billionaire industrialist Hector Seville is in attendance, along with his wife, Barbara, after whom he's named his latest dirigible. But, when Barbara Seville dies onstage during a performance of Rossini's Semiramide, the question is raised: Was it suicide, an accident, or ... murder? Missing paintings, stolen identities, and a host of other other complications combine to make Chief Inspector D.T. Giovanni's latest case a mystery on an operatic scale.
