When the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz gets killed, everybody rejoices. That is how the surviving characters feel at the end of Don Giovanni.

The movie Tootsie is about a man who poses as a woman, thereby attracting an unsuspecting admirer. The exact opposite happens in Fidelio.

In an episode of the Patty Duke Show, Patty tested her boyfriend's fidelity by flirting with him while masquerading as her identical cousin. This is the exact opposite of Cosi Fan Tutte.

Tolkien has been accused of revising the Wagner ring cycle to create his own ring cycle, but he denies it.

Can you think of any others?
