  • Regina es una ópera en tres actos con música y libreto de Marc Blitzstein, basado en la obra The Little Foxes de Lillian Hellman. Fue terminada en 1948. Regina se estrenó en Broadway en el en Nueva York el 31 de octubre de 1949. Blitzstein eligió su fuente para hacer una fuerte afirmación contra el capitalismo.​ El estilo musical se ha descrito como un nuevo verismo estadounidense, abundando en el uso de espirituales, música de salón victoriana, formas de baile, ragtime, aria y gran partitura orquestal.​ Influido por el estilo de la ópera y también de Broadway, de manera parecida a Leonard Bernstein en Trouble in Tahiti y Virgil Thomson en Four Saints in Three Acts, Regina se dice que está a caballo entre el entretenimiento y la música llamada seria.​ Hellman proporcionó a Blitzstein mucho consejo y puso serias objeciones a cualquier apartamiento de la estructura de la obra. Blitzstein planeó un elaborado prólogo coral, pero Hellman le convenció para que lo acortase y finalmente lo eliminase. Antes del estreno, la productora Cheryl Crawford insistió en mayores cortes, pidiendo a Blitzstein que redujera la obra de tres a dos actos. Así lo hizo, cortando quince minutos de música en la escena de la fiesta.​ Es una ópera muy poco representada; en las estadísticas de Operabase aparece con sólo 4 representaciones en el período 2005-2010, siendo la más representada de Marc Blitzstein.

  • Regina is an opera by Marc Blitzstein, to his own libretto based on the play The Little Foxes by Lillian Hellman. It was completed in 1948 and premiered the next year. Blitzstein chose this source in order to make a strong statement against capitalism. In three acts, the musical style has been described as new American verismo, abounding in the use of spirituals, Victorian parlour music, dance forms, ragtime, aria and large, symphonic score. Borrowing from both opera and Broadway styles, in a manner similar to Leonard Bernstein in Trouble in Tahiti and Virgil Thomson in Four Saints in Three Acts, Regina has been said to straddle the line between entertainment and so-called serious music. Hellman gave Blitzstein considerable advice and strongly objected to any departures from the play's structure. Blitzstein planned an elaborate choral prologue, but Hellman convinced him to shorten and finally jettison it. Before the premiere, producer Cheryl Crawford insisted on still further cuts to the opera, asking Blitzstein to reduce the work from three acts to two. He did so, cutting fifteen minutes of music out of the party scene.Leonard Bernstein described Regina's relationship to The Little Foxes as "coating the wormwood with sugar, and scenting with magnolia blossoms the cursed house."
