Since the new Bayreuth Parsifal was so easily recognizable and the all barechested barihunk all the time Don Giovanni from Salzburg not particularly challenging, La Cieca offers a bonus Regie quiz for the first week of August. Blurting out the answer (as in “I saw this production last week: it’s [title]” or “I saw these photos in Opera News: it’s [title]“) will result in suspension of commenting privileges. (La Cieca hates to crack the whip, but she does want her cher public to have a good time!)

    Does anyone wish to know exactly how out of touch the cultural bloviator Joseph Horowitz is?

    In a column in the TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT for 12 September, he describes this LIEBESVERBOT production as having “updated the action to the present day”.

    Perhaps he hasn’t been to a night club or out on an urban street since 1960?
