Well now I am thinking it’s either Goetterdaemmerung or Fledermaus. Or something in between.

Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. It seems appropriately dark.

1. Wedding seen, right as the police arrive
2. Here are my stockings to keep you warm on the march to Siberia
3. Corrupt policemen song? Perhaps an added scene showing the Pravda critics writing about the opera.

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

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!)

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

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

Gypsy Baron?

When will the mystery be revealed?

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?

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

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.

Pic 1. Sarah Palin tries to flee the liberal elite media.

Pic 2. Sarah and Todd confer as still more ethics investigation papers are delivered.

Pic 3. Keith Olbermann and his staff get carried away with their mid-broadcast paper throw.

But I can’t figure out which opera this would be.

Because the pics are so obviously happy and joyful, I’m going with Mikado. Or Dutchman.

The last two pictures could easily be Fidelio or Lohengrin. The first two pics could be Elektra.

Are the pictures in the right order? If not, it could be Lucia with the top pic the mad scene, but that would be way too easy.

It’s Bellini’s Norma!

1. “Ah bello, a me ritorna” (the guy in the suit is Oroveso), “military” is both male and female, ladies in the rear are priestesses;
2. “Qual cor tradisti” duet with Pollione
3. “Norma, vieni” chorus right before Norma entrance and Casta Diva.

Because of all the flying papers, I’d guess “The Consul”.

Someone once suggested a great English title for La finta giardiniera: The Fake with a Rake.

I think this one might be Puritani.

Hmm…Dido? With Carthage looking like East Berlin?

1. Great minds against themselves conspire
2. No repentance shall reclaim the injur’d Dido’s slighted flame.
3. To the hills and the vales, to the rocks and the mountains
