In Bohuslav Martinů's surreal Larmes de couteau (1928) a young woman considers two prospective lovers. She is besotted with a hanged man, but her mother urges her to marry their neighbour, Satan. Dada meets foxtrot, jazz, ragtime, and blues, in this one-act opera with a flavour of Kurt Weill and café-théâtre.
