"Porgy and Bess," by some chance?
Porgy rides around in a goat-cart, but nothing in the libretto suggests
an actual goat pulling it. Porgy propels himself with his strong arms.
Meyerbeer's _Dinorah_, on the other hand, does feature a goat that is
central to the story and appears prominently on stage ... but that
opera, in spite of the one famous coloratura aria, is hardly produced
anymore.
Well, you know how hard it is to work with union goats -- these days
it's getting harder and harder to find goats who carry a union card, and
musician's union specifically forbids union members from working with
non-union members. ;-)
