DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Billy Wilder Austria-USA

His films frequently mock pretension and high culture, with *Sunset Boulevard* notably featuring operatic elements to satirize Hollywood's grandiosity and artifice.

 Mel Brooks USA

A master of genre parody who directly satirizes opera in *Life Stinks* and *Dracula: Dead and Loving It*, using comedic deconstruction of operatic conventions.
