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.

Is that a sword in the bartender’s hand in the second picture? If so, it’s Die Walküre!
1. Wotan challenges Alberich to a chess match during the staged prelude of Das Rheingold and the scene plays out in the cycle’s remaining preludes.
2. Hunding and Siegmund during happy hour.
3. Siegmund frees the Forest Bird (making an early appearance) from its cage. Logically, in this production, Sieglinde is a nurse.
Siegfried!
1. Alberich (in wheelchair) confronts Wotan outside Fafnir’s cave.
2. Siegfried at evening’s end sings of his romantic solitude to the (sleepwalking) bartender, who turns out to be Brunnhilde.
3. Later, while she cozies up to the cage that held the Forest Bird in Act II, he celebrates their impending union, while Erda checks in, just to be sure no one needs a hypo. As if!
A nurse, an empty bird-cage, some guys arguing about something. Die Frau Ohne Schatten.
or maybe
Die Schau Ohne Falken?
It’s got to be an opera with lots of drinking songs in it, so maybe it’s something by Verdi. Macbeth?
I hate Regie quizes? quizzes?
Must be Pelleas et Melisande
1. Arkel and Pelleas
2. The scene in the cave
3. The death of Melisande
Hamlet? Military uniforms, insanity, booze, broad swords…
the first picture would actually be a cool Grand Inquisitor/King Phillipe scene from Don Carlo (with the inquisitor in black leather of course.)
I’m going to say Salome, if only because the champagne bottles bring to mind the Met’s Salome. That being said, I’m sure it’s some opera with which I’m completely unfamiliar.
Where do you find these La Cieca?
I think it could be Rigoletto as well but mainly for the first pic, which I can see as being between Sparafucile and Rigoletto.
If no. 2 is “Questo e quella” and the last one “La donne e mobile”, then is that (a cross-dressing) Maddalena as the bartender??
I feel like this must be Götterdämmerung—we got a sword, we got a bird, we got a naïve hero lookin’ all feebleminded—but I really have no idea what would be going on in any of these scenes.
“Wozzeck”
