@wvclassical – mad scenes and mix-ups w/ some wacky Puritans. for once, the simple confusion is cleared up, lovers end up happy, and no one dies

Could that be “Merry Mount” (Hanson)?

@dotdottweet – The boonies. 6 people wait for a train to nowhere that never comes. One thing’s certain: these folks have some serious baggage!

@amndw2 – I love him! But he won’t marry me. I hate him! If you love me, go kill him! Wait, he’ll marry me after all? Aargh! Come back!

This one is mine. It’s La Clemenza di Tito. I think this one is also Clemenza di Tito:

I thought this might be Betrothal in a Monastery, but the monks, though wacky and ascetic, aren’t really Puritans. I think it’s actually I Puritani, which isn’t as light as the summary implies but the lovers do end up happy and no-one dies.

@musicbizkid – Let me get this straight: unfathomable treasure if I betroth my loopy daughter to a ghost? Deal. She’ll meet you by the fjord.
