The Hollywood director who made opera hotter than sex
mainGarry Marshall, who has died at 81, directed reams of popular films and TV series, none more impactful than the 1990 Julia Roberts-Richard Gere vehicle Pretty Woman in which a hedge-funder takes a prostitute to the opera to watch La Traviata.
Aside from his blockbuster screen career, Garry found time to direct opera. Grand Duchess opened the Los Angeles Opera’s 2005 season and in 2008 he directed L’Elisir d’Amore at San Antonio Opera.
