Kitchen sink regie

regie_11_29_02Smartly done, Jim, for last week’s quiz was indeed “Lear, with the little dogs taken literally.”

This was the Reimann opera, as performed at the Komische Oper in a production by Hans Neuenfels.

    Is there an opera on the life and death of Sylvia Plath?

    If not, perhaps this could be ‘Intermezzo’, Burgerliche Komodie von Dr. Richard Strauss?

    Last picture looks like a depiction of Verklaerte Nacht. Kinda, sorta.

    First I thought this was the fabled Todd Haynes ‘Scarsdale Traviata’, but now it looks like Luisa Miller to me.
