Regie, how I loves ya
Smartly done, Kashania, who guessed almost immediately that last week’s Regie quiz represented From the House of the Dead — in a production by Calixto Bieito, by the way. But even oil drums, truck tires and life-sized airplanes suspended over the stage might look a little prim in contrast to this week’s puzzler:
My guess in Das Rheingold (Fassolt and Fafner as a two-headed giant in picture 2) and if not that Falla’s Atlantida (wait . . . that’s a three-headed gorgon, well, maybe not that one then!) Got NO idea what picture number 3 is about!
Second Rheingold … unless it is Figaro …
OMG! Is that a man in black face? Could it be Zauberflotte? Could be something by Wagner…
Cieca cara: Could we get a close up of the sleeping beauty on pic no. 1?
I don’t know the ring cycle at all but when I see twins, I think Fafner and Fasolt.
They do not comport themselves like Faf and Faz. I’m going to guess…Oh La Cieca, can’t it ever be multiple choice??
Oberon?
If it is not Rheingold…
Is it La Belle Helene? it is the only other piece in which I can think of two brothers (Ajax I and Ajax II)
I second the Belle Helene.
It Could alos be:
- Ariadne auf Naxos (those two “brothers” could be Brighella and Scarramucio)
- Die Frau Ohne Schatten (two of the three brothers)
- Turandot (Ping Pang, Or Pang Pong, or Ping Pong)
I second Ariadne.
Der fliegende Holländer?
First shot of the Steersman dreaming whilst in London’s Tate Modern Museum on the latest Turbine Hall Gallery installation.
Third shot of the Flying Dutchman himself. Note the feathers and/or the possible reference to LeRoi Jones’ 1964 one-act drama “Dutchman.”
Second Shot: ???????
It’s definitely “La serva padrona”
Jonny spielt auf.
Seriously, those twins keep making me think Rheingold too, but it’s too obvious.
I thought House of the Dead was too obvious.
