Love's Labour's Lost (opera)

 * ... that Nicholas Nabokov composed an opera Love's Labour's Lost, setting the same play by Shakespeare as the fictional hero of Mann's Doctor Faustus, "in a spirit of the most artificial mockery"? Source:
 * Reviewed: Western bronze-naped pigeon
 * Comment: We could also write that Auden and his lover wrote the libretto, as for some other great 20th-century operas (same source), but I think the parallel to fiction is more unusual, - the quote is from the book, translated, and fits Nabokov's work also.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ done, source checks out, no copyvio issues, long enough, in time, hook is interesting, withing policy. The current hook is fine too, but if you like, you could have an ALT1 (per your comment). Although, ALT0 is better. Everything is great, good to go!
