Cirque du Regie
His Regie recognition is as fleet as his singing: it took iltenoredigrazia only six minutes to guess correctly that Elektra was the opera depicted in our most recent quiz.
La Cieca invites him (and the rest of you, of course) to lock horns with a more knotty puzzler, after the jump.
Somehow Les Troyens comes to mind, but the knot thing made me wonder if there is an opera about the Gordian knot, and it seems, indeed there is. Don’t know about the horns.
So, I guess Purcell: Dido and Aeneas; Music for “The Gordian Knot Unty’d”
Having found this opera, I find it tempting to acquire a recording because there is one with Lorraine Hunt Lieberson( too bad she didn’t record Dido in Troyens)
I change my mind to Goetterdaemmerung
this would be a fun Don Carlo.
pic 1 is elisabetta & philip, pic 2 is eboli and posa, and pic 3 is a somewhat Magritte-y auto-da-fe.
here’s a juicy production (the tag gives it away) that made its debut in Hamburg a couple of days ago. what-all those germans will put up with — and pay for!!!

This is either “The Rape of Lucretia”, or “L”Italiana in Algeria.”
L’Orfeo….
