Everything but the Regie snappin’ at her rear end

Demonstrating that delicate exotic fruits need not always be ignorant, dear Lady Bracknell guessed correctly that our most recent Regie quiz was, in fact, Salome. Thilo Reinhardt‘s production from the Komische Oper Berlin was not very well received, alas, though, on the bright side, it did provide a lively subject for the cher public’s guessing. Another puzzler follows the jump.

    OTT The greatest note EVER sung was Leonie’s high B on “bruder” at the end of Elektra ( 61 Met with Borkh and Madeira–it’s on Youtube ). It starts out as thrilling beyond belief and then she crecendos while holding it longer than humanly possible and it keeps getting more exciting and more exciting.

    It all looks so expressionistic that it could easily be Berg’s LULU.
    Photo 1: Act III gambling scene with the banker getting the telegram about the stock market crash.
    Photo 2 & 3: In the dressing room in the final scene of Act I.

    Either that or an expressionistic take on Monteverdi’s CORONATION OF POPPEA.
