Le code le ali

During the making, Capucci showed Rosati an album of "Forbidden Drawings" that he had never exhibited. These are satirical and surrealistic portraits of the heroines of Opera: Aida, Traviata, Manon Lescaut ... completed by extensions of real mink fur over the sex of the singers. Capucci refused absolutely to include them in the documentary. Rosati later succeeded in inserting just the drawing of "La Vedova Allegra" by Lehar in the documentary "La Moda Proibita" in the scene in which Capucci speaks to a group of students of the Ferentino academy. In the interview Capucci says that, as a child, he fantasized that his mother's friends wore shoes with enormous heels to kill children.

When the soprano Raina Kabaivanska dances the waltz in "Die Lustige Witwe" by Franz Lehár in the Bolognini's direction for "Teatro dell'Opera di Roma" she wears a dress that is not by Capucci, who is the author of the dress that Kabaivanska wears singing for the concert in Trieste.
