Regie apocalypse
Noel Dahling hedged his bets, but one of those bets paid off: no, that wasn’t Liù in the body bag, but it was in fact Siegfried — which means, of course, the opera was Götterdämmerung. For those among you who are devotees of the Regie art, the production is by La Fura dels baus.
All clear? So now let’s put on our thinking caps to guess what’s going on here:
Trovatore.
Picture 2 is when Manrico makes his surprise rescue of Leonora — “dal ciel disceso”
Failing that, Signorina Saigon, with a plane instead of that f***ing helicopter.
I’m getting a Shakespearean vibe. Macbeth?
Boris Godunov?
Eventually I’m just going to have to admit that every single Regie production has some apocalyptic moment that looks like the Kromy Forest scene, though.
It looks like Oliver!, so I’ll guess: Hamlet.
La Fanciulla del West
Minnie hides Johnson in the helicopter from where the blood then drips.
Someone beat me to it.
Lohengrin.
