godwin’s quiz
The last couple of quizzes have been perhaps not quite challenging enough for you, cher public. The most recent one, for example, you guessed was Luisa Miller almost immediately. So La Cieca has decided to up the ante a bit.
These days, just about any opera might be produced with such directorial touches as a severed arm and a Hitler lookalike. But can you guess which opera this one is? (The usual reminder: if you know the production already, clam up!)
Oh no she didn’t!
Oh, yes, she did! She was f***ed up at the time, so she doesn’t remember all of the details, but it was at Steamworks in Chicago. She’s very glad she’s sober now, so she doesn’t do it again.
It’s not L’etoile from Paris, is it?
Well.
Things are getting p r e tt y scary around here.
Yikes.
You can probably tell I’m in a much better mood, Evenhanded. Good job interviews this week, and some callbacks, which helps. And the thought of prosthetics in all of the wrong places is certainly distracting.
Tannengrin – I believe the first picture is of Tony singing “One Hand, One Heart”
It could be Ruddigore, although operetta is not the usual thing on Parterre.
It’s obviously Sondheim! The first picture is from the opening number of Company, as the various cast members peek through the blinds calling Bobby’s name.
The second pic is the guys at the bar trying to set Bobby up with the girl of his (their?) dreams. (Have I Got a Girl for You!)
“La ci darem la mano…”?
I have of course done Sondheim at what dear Kitty Hart was pleased to call “Beverly’s Opera”. I could sing “The Ladies who Lunch” *tomorrow*– e basta!
