Touted as "P.D.Q. Bach's Half-Act Opera:
The Stoned Guest" is actually the work of
Peter Schickele. The title is a play on the subtitle of
Don Giovanni by
Mozart, i.e. "The Stone Guest." The work is a parody of classical opera, although some critics consider it to be the equal in technical ability to many classical works.
