One of the much-discussed subplots during season 1 is the so-called "opera war": because the "old-money" elites refused to sell boxes at the venerable Academy of Music opera house, the "new-money" crowd attempts to start their own opera house, the Metropolitan Opera. This conflict was based on the real history of the era; not only was the Metropolitan the more successful and longer-lived opera company, it is still operational (as of February 2022). Though Kelli O'Hara (who plays Aurora Fane) is best-known as a Broadway leading lady (she has been Tony-nominated for The Light in the Piazza, The Pajama Game, South Pacific, Nice Work If You Can Get It, The Bridges of Madison County, The King and I, and Kiss Me, Kate, winning for The King and I), she has also performed as a leading soprano in several Metropolitan Opera productions, including The Merry Widow, Così fan tutte, and The Hours.
