ok i pick amadeus wolfgang mozart for the score of this new "space opera". incidentaly all stars and planets create their own specific "sound" by the vivrations they cause as they stir in their cosmic dust.-blurey

Well, Elizabeth Bear's "Dust" has some operatic elements, but i wouldn't call it Space opera or retro in any way.

Right on Mr. Varley.. Space opera has conquered all, and we can only hope to live long enough for SF movies to get up to the 1950's.
