Naughty Feldmarschallin spoiled the most recent Regie quiz by blurting out the answer, so La Cieca will repeat her usual entreaty in advance this time.   The point of this quiz is not to see if you can recognize a production you have seen  (or have seen reviewed) but rather, working from the images, to try to guess what opera it might be. Now, the next blurter will have commenting privileges suspended, so stop with the blurting.

The solution to the quiz, as well as a new puzzler, after the jump. 

That opera last time was Così fan tutte, as directed by Claus Guth for the Salzburg Festival.  Here’s a glimpse of what the very attractive cast looked like in action.

Again with the modern decor, though on a less lavish scale, shows up this time.

    an operatic version of No Country for Old Men with a happy ending: the guy with the weird hair-cut gets it in the end.
