Moët et Regie

A whole month it’s been since our last Regie quiz, when the opera depicted was admittedly a lesser-known work, Rossini’s La scala di seta. More tomfoolery in sleek modern interiors may be found in this week’s quiz, after the jump.  regie_09_13_01

    Remember, cher public: if you know the production, don’t blurt it out. This is meant to be a guessing game.

  • Opera South says:

    Cosi or maybe Hoffmann?

  • Looks like Fledermaus
    “Taeubchen das entflattert ist…?” So you have the bird-cage

    1st caption – duet Eisenstein / Falke (he had an accident when he got drunk and dressed as a bat)

    2nd caption – 3rd act prison scene? Alfred & Frosch

    3rd caption – 1st act – Rosalinde, Alfred and Adele.

    The whole thing takes place in a hospital ward because of Falke’s accident? or Eisenstein’s?

    I’m going to guess RAKE’S PROGRESS just because you used the word “tomfoolery”. Certainly the bottom photo could be Bedlam.

  • tannengrin says:

    With the ‘champagne’ hint I thought this would be Don Giovanni, but it looks more like a ‘Faust’ to me.

    Unless it’s Othello.

  • Quanto Painy Fakor says:

    The operatic version of Silence of the Lamb starring Hanibal Lechter.

  • viper says:

    I’ve never guessed before, but this time I was moved… hope I’m right! fingers crossed.

    La forza del destino.

    religious hermits, sexy nurses… ce sont presque la même chose, n’est-ce pas?

  • iltenoredigrazia says:

    Don Giovanni

  • rysanekfreak says:

    Andrea Chenier !

    1. L’Incredibile is up to no good in Act 2.

    2. The Act 2 duet between Chenier and Maddalena.

    3. “Idia Legray!!!!” “Son io!!”

    Rigoletto

    1. Opening scene
    2. Questo quella
