1990 Peter Sellars film

Peter Sellers set his innovative updated version of the opera in the Trump Tower with the Count a Trump-like rich man and Cherubino macho in an American football uniform. It works well most of the time and there are many enjoyable references to vintage film comedy.

In recent years, Sellars has turned to opera. His production of John Adams' Nixon in China for the Houston Grand Opera was broadcast nationally on PBS, and The Death of Klinghoffer, his second collaboration with Adams and choreographer Mark Morris, is part of the San Francisco Opera's current season. Last summer, Sellars directed Olivier Messaien's opera Saint Francois d'Assise at the Salzburg Festival (Source)
