Have I stayed too long at the Regie?
Right 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)

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

Don Carlos, God knows why.

aida.

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).’

Don Giovanni?
oh for the lovvah god!!
faust.
Rigoletto?
