I say Cenerentola. 1. Magnifico protests Angelina’s request to go to the ball while the prince and Alidoro have a glass of wine; 2. Alidoro sings “La’ dell ciel” while the heavenly beings are suspended upside down; and 3. “Non piu’ mesta” as the now rich and fashionable Cinderella “dies” to her former humble self.

Or Rusalka with a shiny-headed water goblin.

Though the black caps and costumes of those carrying #3 off scream Butterfly puppeteers.

Per Noel and Ruxton, since the balloon animals and Merry Widow-esque dress in #2 scream Turandot or Rigoletto, I’ll have to say it’s Gotterdamerung.

Or The Folks Who Live On The Hill. Top production, that.

E vero che c’era troppa gente superflua sul palcoscenico (per manovrare le macchine pesantine…) Purtroppo non conosco quello di Carsen.

Isn’t that a “Ring” in her hand in the last pic, with German writing on her gown?

It’s clearly The Rocky Horror Picture Show:

1. Rocky on the slab

2. Bridal march in the reprise of “I Can Make You a Man”

3. Frank N. Furter’s death after the Floor Show

Si, stupendo. secondo me troppo stupendo, troppo cirque du soleil… preferisco l’allestimento di Carsen a Fenice… piu semplice, piu psicologico, piu convincente…

I’m going to guess Romeo et Juliette. No idea why.

By: Sanford

Sanford — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:26:21 +0000

I’m going to guess Tosca. That last pic might be Mattila carried off stage rather than faux-jumping from the parapet. Therefore, it must be The Mikado.

Walkure.

2. Hunding and party come home to find Siegmund and Sieglinde.

3. Valkyries carry off the dead.

1. stumps me, but I’ll guess: regie directors try to persuade ellerveira to accept their visions.

May I intrude a note of sanity? What is the point of stagings so irrelevant to an opera that nobody can tell (except by wild guesses) what opera is involved? Please explain.

I won twice! Best mot and biggest ‘mo! Yay, me!

Don’t be dissing Peggy Lee; she was a goddess. I never get tired of hearing Fever or Is That All There Is.

I wanted to say Parsifal, but #8 beat me to it.

So I’ll say Faust.

1. the Kermesse scene
2. the Garden Scene love duet…while Mephistopheles looks on
3. the final moments…as Marguerite’s body gets carried away to somewhere Regie

A colour and period challenged Parsifal? Act I, the grail scene; Act 2, Parsifal and Kundry + flowermaidens + Klingsor in the chariot; Act 3 Titurel’s body being carried in…

Tales of Hoffmann?
Pic 1: Olympia going crazy
Pic 2: Hoffmann and Giulietta
Pic 3: Antonia being carried off after she dies.

Just a thought…

Yea Noel could be- also could be Gilda in the bag- and the other pics could fit in with Rigoletto

By: Noel Dahling

Noel Dahling — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:33:46 +0000

Well, the last pic could be of LIu getting carried off, Ruxton. Or it could be Siegfried. THats the only other time I know of a character gettin carried off like that, in Gotterdamerung.

Shades of Turandot

Having seen this one, my lips are sealed. However, I must say that it had some truly stunning moments including the male star singing while suspended upside down in something akin to gravity boots from the device in the center picture. Actually singing. Upside down. I don’t imagine that’s easy…

The 2nd Picture screams Traviata. Could it be 1984 the opera but backdated (then shouldn’t it be called 1884?)?
