Jerry Orbach was a talented singer who performed on Broadway; however, his character Detective Lennie Briscoe expresses disdain for opera several times. Operas of which he speaks scornfully include DON GIOVANNI (Mozart), TRISTAN AND ISOLDE (Wagner), LA TRAVIATA (Verdi), AIDA (also Verdi) and LA BOHEME (Puccini). In one episode (Law & Order - I due volti della giustizia: Blaze (2003)), when someone he is questioning mentions Wagner's opera GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG, Briscoe replies "Bless you!"; in another (Law & Order - I due volti della giustizia: Payback (2004)), when a suspect he is arresting complains that he has tickets for the Metropolitan Opera that evening, Briscoe replies: "Well, you're in luck. It's 'opera-week' at Rikers. They're doing an all-male version of CARMEN."Arthur Branch, on the other hand, is enough of an opera buff that he once sang the famous aria "Vesti la giubba ( "Ridi, Pagliacco" ) from Leoncavallo's opera PAGLIACCI (The Clowns) outside a girl's window, wearing full clown costume. (See Law & Order - I due volti della giustizia: Chosen (2003)). Since the aria is written for tenor voice, and Fred Thompson's voice is a low baritone, it must be assumed either that he transposed the music down, or, that his voice changed a great deal between his college days and the time when he became a prosecutor, or, that he was very very drunk when he sang.)
