It was Jeff Goldblum wasn't it? (Unless there was another film about the same subject?)

great question Mr Flay, I wasn't casting aspersions
doubtless The Tale of Tsar Saltan contains some lovely music

Wiki says: "The Fly is an opera in two acts by Canadian composer Howard Shore to a libretto by David Henry Hwang. It was commissioned by the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, where it premiered on 2 July 2008, and by Edgar Baitzel, then director of the Los Angeles Opera, where the opera was first performed on 7 September 2008.

The opera is loosely based on David Cronenberg's 1986 film The Fly which was based on the short story of the same name by George Langelaan."

The film starred Jeff Goldblum. There again the original film was in 1958, then there was Return of the Fly in 1959 and Curse of the Fly in 1965....
