got a regie in your pocket
Our previous Regie quiz depicted (as Nerva Nelli so quickly guessed) Verdi’s Aida, in a production by Christopher Alden for the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
And now, cher public, our weekly edition of Name that Regie. Remember, if you have seen the production or otherwise recognize the photos, please remain silent while others guess the answer!
This reaks of La Boheme
Pictures two and three give me a real Jenufa vibe.
Carmen
Pic 1 is one of the cigarillo girls selling her wares
Pic 2 is Carmen dancing with male gypsies
Pic 3 is obviously Escamillo outside the corrugated iron London Olympic stadium
The first 2 pics scream “Ariadne.”
But the 3rd one is a bit tricky; the “man” being hoisted up could be the Composer; or it may really be a man. Too bad we can’t see him/her more clearly.
I’ll go for La Somnambula
Caterina
Obviously Turandot.
1. non piangere Liu
2. in questa reggia
3. and his name is…LOVE!…curtain…applause
It must be something Handelian, updated so that the unwashed masses who flock to German opera houses “get it.”
Oh, why is Renee the only one who wears a powdered wig these days…
The third pic makes me think of Die Meistersinger. And love the hand placement of the guy in sunglasses…
I’m going with Flittermouse. Or maybe Giordano’s Siberia?
Manon – only because second picture could be “Je marche sur tous les chemins…”
