Headshot of La Cieca

Cher Public

  • “Hmmm, that big white dress looks very much like the one Natalie...” Lindoro Almaviva
  • “Bill@10: “Hamlet in both versions is is a University student, not...” m. croche
  • “In that interview, how many times does Matheopoulos write...” MontyNostry
  • “Andrew Porter gives a different story of the Bumbry-Caballe fracas in Music of...” rapt
  • “Kashania, my sweet, it’s nothing like pitchy. It is a word...” BETSY_ANN_BOBOLINK

Have I stayed too long at the Regie?

regie_01_25_04Right you are if you think you are, cher public! Our most recent Regie quiz did indeed depict a new production of Wagner’s Rienzi, directed by Philipp Stölzl. (Photo credit: Bettina Stoess im Auftrag der Deutschen Oper Berlin)

No handy dome-shaped landmarks in this next quiz, cher public, so La Cieca will leave you to it:  regei_02_01_01regei_02_01_02regei_02_01_03

    I say Faust. The first pic is of Faust and Mephistopheles with the “youth” in the background. In the second pic, Faust is seducing Margarite, and in the third, they are in a prison.

    I have no idea, but I will guess Lohengrin just because of the swan.

    Clearly, La Cieca’s tricking us by posting pics of three difference productions.

    1. Il Trovatore — Act II, Di Luna
    2. Ariadne — just because
    3. Die Walküre — Ride of Valkyries with the dead heroes watching in the background.

    Gotterdammerung, IMO. The second shot could be the immolation scene. The third photo looks like it could be the end of Act II. But you got me on the clowns.

    If it’s not MANON LESCAUT, it should be:

    Act 1: Inn Scene “Tra voi belle” etc.
    Act 2: Manon and Des Grieux
    Act 3: Embarcation scene, with cargo loading of fallen women

    Billy Budd!!!!

    1. Captain Vere remembers his time in a boarding school preparing for a stint in the Royal Navy.

    2. Billy – in drag – is lusted after by Claggart

    3. Well come on now – Billy is hung! And the same can often said for the barithunk playing the title role

    kashania says:

    An excellent guess. And I’ll help you out with the first one.

    1. “Schläft du Hagen mein Sohn?”

    Manon Lescaut:
    1) Act 1, Des Grieux, Edmondo and the students
    2) Act 2, Manon & Lescaut
    3) Act 3, shipping those whores to Louisiana

    Tales of Hoffmann

    1. Giulietta – that’s a swan gondola in the background
    2. Antonia
    3. Olympia

    Les Troyens, with a trojan swan. pic 2 cannot be anything but Nuit d’ivresse.

    schweigundtanze says:

    Pic 2 looks like a reject set from Act I of the Bondy Tosca.

    MirtoP says:

    Hey, great minds (see my comment one or two just below), etc. We must’ve been typing at almost exactly the same time!

    I’m especially convinced we’re right because of 2 small details: She’s in the same (horrible!) dress in #2 and #3, and the guy I/we assume is DG in #1 has changed from his school uniform into something resembling sailor garb in #3.

    2nd, radames & amneris (or aida)

    3rd, triumphal march

    More Britten it would seem. This time ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.
    1 Puck and the Fairies ponder the ‘lovely Indian boy stolen from an Indian King.’
    2 Tytania and Oberon squabble: ‘I have forsworn his bed and company (but have constructed this lovely tangerine backdrop to remind him of what he is missing).’
    3 The rude mechanicals put on their Regie version of ‘Pyramus and Thisbe’ but Hyppolyta prefers the Zeffirelli production: ‘This is the silliest stuff that I ever heard (or saw).’
    Now can we move on to Tippett or Walton?

    Parsifal !

    1. Guernemantz chews out Parsifal for killing the swan in Act I. That’s Kundry cowering on the left.

    2. A prettier Kundry tries to seduce Parsifal in Act 2.

    3. The consecration of the Holy Grail…end of Act III.

    Medea.

    1. Creon tempts Jason with thoughts of leading the Corinthian army (and navy).

    2. Medea puts on something slinky and tries to remind Jason of better days, on the voyage back from Colchis.

    3. A band of angels comin’ after me – but Medea and Jason ignore them and live happily ever after by the seaside. (Thank you, Melina Mercouri.)

    I will be pissed if it is “Manon Lescaut” because I wasn’t fast enough to be #1. That last picture is surely the boat scene.
    Ah well,,,

    Sir Ferris says:

    Did anyone say Meistersinger yet?

    1) Walther, David, apprentices in Act 1
    2) Eva & Walther in Act 2
    3) hmmm….not sure if it’s the brawl or the Act 3 finale

    jfmurray3 says:

    Tristan?
    1. Act III – Tristan’s delirium in Kareol
    2. Mild und leise…
    3. Act I on the ship, arriving to a rather bizarre Cornwall.

    Un sagrestano says:

    I think this has to be Rigoletto. 1) The beginning of Act I? 2) Gilda at home with the Duke 3) Act II, with Rigoletto and Gilda on the right.
