I can think of several more Honest-to Verdi SF operas.  Janacek did one
called "The Adventures of Mr. Broucek" in which Mr. Broucek goes to the moon;
I have sung in a production of this.  Also, when I was an undergrad at UC
Riverside, one of the Grad students in the Music department did an adaptation
of "The Martian Chronicles"  -- I forget her name but can look it up if
anyone is really interested.  Weber wrote one called something like 
"the Bobolinks",A I know little more than the fact that the score is one 
of the few "serious" musical works to call for a theremin.
