Regie unleashed

regie_11_22_03Right the first time, WindyCityOperaMan! Last week’s Regie quiz was indeed Das Rheingold — as envisioned by Barrie Kosky for Staatsoper Hannover. You will forgive La Cieca for saying that either the quizzes are getting too easy or the cher public are getting too smart! As such, your doyenne has put her back into it a bit this week, seeking a somewhat less familiar title for your perusal.

Remember, all: if you actually recognize this staging, hush, or risk redaction!

    Hint: this is not a production of Zar Hund Zimmermann.

    This is the most brilliant Turandot Konzept I’ve seen!

    1)Timur kisses the Prince of Persia goodbye, with ballgown Liu looking on (they were exiled from Liu’s senior prom, don’t you know?)

    2) Turandot plots her next move with Ping, Pang, and Pong. If I had to take a guess, said move would be revenge on her costumer.

    3) Ping, Pang, and Pong offer Calaf (who is somehow older than Timur) the world if he’ll give up his name.

    Indeed, photo number two could be Trebs just realising she left her kid on the bus on her way home from Dunking Donuts, but that isn’t an opera. I somehow suspect this is belcanto: is picture number two yet another attempt at portraying Queen Elizabeth I in a new and original way? Picture one could be Hanna Kennedy, Mary Stuart and Leicester so I’ll guess Maria Stuarda.

    I have been to France, visited Cornwall and darted through Kent. But still I speak as his Master’s fool. Alas I am no Duke or Earl. Gloucester has half day closing on Tuesdays.

    But I think I have caught Goneril. It’s very painful..

    I blame Regan.

    I don’t know why but it seems to have a Pique Dame feel about it.

    Hmmmmmmm, a somewhat less familiar title?

    Could this be Gomes’ Salvator Rosa?

    1. The baritone, dressed as George W Bush, gives his daughter away in marriage.

    2. The soprano picks her nose while the chorus of dogs sings happily.

    3. Peter Boyle (I thought he was dead!) walks woodenly among the chorus members while the conductor wonders why he didn’t accept the offer from Opera Fargo to conduct their marionette La Boheme instead.

    Boheme, right?

    1) Che gelida manina
    2) Vien, Lulu!
    3) Alcindoro returning at end of Act II

    I have no idea, but is that actually Netrebko in #2? If it is, she’s gotten a bit zaftig.

    Roberto Devereux. Il Direttore must have confused Westminster Palace with the Westminster Dog Show.

    Obviously Trittico, though you’re making it difficult by putting the pictures out of order.

    Top, Suor Angelica as she dies getting a glimpse of her son (who is a bit older than she’d imagined)

    Middle, Tabarro, La Frugola as a Crazy Dog Lady who nevertheless has a sense of style.

    Bottom Schicchi being petitioned by the relatives.

    I’m guessing Martha by Flotow, even though I don’t know the first thing about it.
