Das nächste große Projekt von Red Crayola ist eine Oper. Sie spielt 1860 in Paris und handelt von einer Serie von Morden an Frauen, die berühmten Malern Modell standen. Mit von der Partie sind Victorian Mireau, die zu dieser Zeit ein begehrtes Modell war und die Maler Corbet und Monet. Inspektor Dené und sein Assistent Chauvin versuchen diesen Fall aufzuklären, während die Polizei in Paris zu dieser Zeit vornehmlich nur Linke und Juden jagt. Lustig soll es werden. Geschrieben ist die Geschichte wieder von Art & Language, die Musik dazu kommt von Red Crayola ergänzt durch Geigen, Bläser und Sänger Nächstes Jahr wird sie in Hamburg in den städtischen Bühnen aufgeführt.
The libretto was written in Summer 1983.
The libretto was first published in March 1984, comprising the entirety of Art-Language Vol. 5 No. 2.
