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.
I would also say Idomeneo (with a tenor Idamante).
Cenerantola perhaps?
Handel’s Alessandro?
Don Giovanni !
1. Anna and Ottavio sing their Act I duet. The Commendatore is already an omnipresent statue, even during the Overture…because The Stone Statue is the only part of the opera that the director understands.
2. Masetto gets Zerlina ready for the wedding.
3. The big party scene that ends Act I.
Singin’ in the Rain.
Tales of Hoffmann?
La clemenza di Tito?
Ariadne?
Wow, I got one right?! The odds that I’ll guess another one are probably nil.
In any case, La Cenerentola came to mind right away but can’t explain why. #2 is Cenerentola being fitted for the ball?
If not, second guess is Porgy and Bess.
It’s either Die Zauberflute of Tales of Hoffman.
