  Is this perhaps Puritani?
  1) First mad scene at the end of act 1;
  2) Elvira and Arturo in act 3 after he has been captured;
  3) Any choral scene as staged by Marta Domingo when the glitz shower device fails and she has to make do with a paper drop.

  1. Ritorna vincitor!
  2. the Nile scene: Amonasro as Che
  3. Triumphal March: Amneris in the blue suit; papyrus confetti!

  It does look like Puritani, doesn’t it? The interrupted wedding in I:3, the capture of Arturo in III:2, the celebratory announcement of Cromvello’s offstage victory (at La Battaglia di Vorcestro or however you spell it).

  But a couple of people already suggested that, so I’m going with Tannhauser:
  1: the song contest goes awry, Elisabeth fakes a mad scene to protect Tannhauser
  2: Hermann tells Elisabeth not to tell Tannhauser she’s in love with him, while Wolfram looks disapprovingly on
  3: Telegram from the Vatican.

  Or is it The Rake’s Progress?

  Looks like a couple of people have detected a kind of light-opera thing going on here. . .

  Gypsy Baron?

  You know what, I think this is all Jenufa act three.

  Yes, I too thought immediately of Sonnambula and then also of Lohengrin. (I threw Andrea Chenier out the window — hope he ended up on his feet!)

  Try this on for size.
  Wagner never looked so good.
