Kill the Wabbit!: How the 1957 Bugs Bunny Cartoon, “What’s Opera, Doc?,” Inspired Today’s Opera Singers to First Get Into Opera
It comes as no surprise that many American children’s first, and often only exposure to opera comes compliments of Bugs Bunny. One of the rascally rabbit's most enduring turns is as Brünnhilde opposite Elmer Fudd’s Siegfried in “What’s Opera, Doc?,” a 1957 cartoon spoofing Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen.

Well, it's finally surfaced. A clip from the 6th episode of the "Bugs Bunny Show", which originally aired on ABC November 15, 1960. Despite the foreign dubbing, you'll get the idea. Bugs does an impression on guitar of "Frankie doing an imitation of Rickie doing an imitation of Elvis". The segment was likely directed by Friz Freleng. Also included in this video is the use of the same tune (and same recording) in the theatrical Foghorn Leghorn cartoon "Banty Raids" (Robert McKimson, 1963). | Gold
