Noir opera?
Been awhile since I posted here, and even longer since I did a request thread, but right now I'm on a film noir kick and wondering if there's any opera that has those vibes of cynicism, corruption, fatalistic passion, crime and detection, urban decay, and smoky atmosphere. Even better if we have an actual gumshoe or a femme fatale. If there's a jazz score, even better, but it's not absolutely necessary.
The closest I can think of is Carmen, which doesn't meet every criteria (there's no way in hell you're going to confuse the early-1800's Seville of the show with mid-1900's New York, LA, or San Francisco), but is the ultimate femme fatale/criminally doomed love story. And the Threepenny Opera, which is about the affairs of a notorious criminal, has a heavy dose of cynicism, and has jazz elements in the score
