  • manou: oedipe – “PucciniR 17;s La Gioconda” is a must. 10:46 AM

is that a gun in your regie, or are you just glad to see me?

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?
