Chi è quella regie bionda lassù?
As anotherjj was quick to deduce, the lady in the kitchenette was indeed Cio-Cio-San. La Cieca will note in passing that she searched through perhaps three dozen productions of Madama Butterfly until she could find one that didn’t immediately give the game away. No matter where one goes, the Japanese Tragedy is going to feature kimonos and cherry blossoms.
And speaking of kimonos…
This is a radical re-interpetation of Billy Budd. All those years on the ship have turned the officers into cross-dressers:
Photo One: On the bridge of the HMS Indomitible
Photo Two: Claggart, in mufti, reflects on Budd’s beauty
Photo three: A begowned Captain Vere bids Billy adieu before he is, ahem, hung…..
… ahem, hanged. (Spoils the joke, I know.)
That scenario would certainly brighten up Britten, though.
Well, the first thing that comes to mind is “Guys and Dolls”, but since it’s not that, it has to be “The Gambler”. Somehow, I don’t that’s quite right, so I’m going to say “Lulu”.
I think it might be Rigoletto–large male chorus, Gilda singing Caro Nome in her pink bedroom?
OMG it looks awful. Who’d want to know?
There’s a bat signal on the prompter’s box in the first picture, so it must be Fledermaus.
1. They’ve come to escort him to prison
2. The maid contemplates the party
3. Reconciliation
I think you may have gotten it right again!
Aint that Melanie Diener? Not that it helps matters
I tune into the Regie Rag just so I can split a gut laughing at the entries. Can’t match wits with any of you.
That said, it looks like Hoffman to me.
I’ll join in with the Fanciulla guesses.
Richard Strauss’s The Trojan Women?
1. The women are rounded up and herded into their prison.
2. Hecuba laments the fate of the women of Troy.
3. Menelaus is reconciled with Helen of Troy while the women’s chorus laments their fate.
I say it’s Watchmen: The Opera
where’s the giant blue man who makes no sense with itty bitty blue dangly parts?
That blue schwanz was the only reason to see the movie. ANd rather large. And uncut. I can only imagine the conversation that took place to make that decision.
Really? I was once married to a man and slept with others before that so I think my memory is bad. It’s been a long time.
“nun sei bedankt, mein blauer Scwanz”
