fire when regie

Far too easy, or at least far too straightforward, was last week’s Regie quiz. From the very beginning Lindoro and many others recognized Pfitzner’s Palestrina. The very handsome production was seen recently at the Bavarian State Opera. Christian Stückl was the director and Stefan Hageneier the designer.

Is this week’s quiz a trifle more challenging? Well, cher public, let’s take a look after the jump and you tell me!

    It looks like Aegyptische Helena or Aida, so I’m going to say Incoronazione di Poppea.

    Lindoro beat me to it.

    1. Valkyries
    2. Wotan/Fricka
    3. Wotan kills Siegmund

    On second thought: a colonial Macbeth?

    it’s an Egyptian setting for Seinfeld the Opera. Elaine as Nefertiri hears the girls laugh about her lousy dancing. Then Pa and Ma Costanza have a fight. Then Jerry tries to pull off Cosmo’s tight jeans.

  • Lydia Language says:

    Alessandro nell’ Indie?

    No one’s guessed it yet, and it’s playing on RadioCrazy at this very moment. Sounding pretty good, too! Evviva Pacini!

    Either Aida, or something with Cleopatra (Giulio Cesare, Cleopatre, or whatever).
