  R. Strauss’s “Capriccio”.

  1. The Italian Singers

  2. The poet or the composer talking with the
  Countess

  3. A very literal staging of the “Moonlight” music

    Totally OT but Costello pulled out of the final 8 performances at Glyndebourne?
    And judging by reviews the cover performed at least 1 show.
    ?

    I’m thinking Rossini, too – only l’Italiana in Algeri.

  I know this production so I am taking a different tack :

  Il Collegamento Spezzato

  1. Opera Chic bribes a techie to sabotage the RSS link

  2. The angel manou warns La Cieca of this dastardly deed

  3. The link is re-instated and La Cieca welcomes all to the newly fixed link.

  Lincke’s ‘Frau Luna’??

  What? Too literal?

  Britten’s Midsummer Night’s Dream?

  The last photo makes me think of Vera Charles in Mama singing “The Man in the Moon is a Lady”. But I may have to go with “The Merry Wives of Windsor” even though it is too obvious.

    LOL! I was also thinking of Auntie Mame! Perhaps in Europe that can count as an opera?

    … or a different kind of diva

  I’m thinking Ariadne auf Naxos…

  1) Der Komponist with the Musikmeister

  2) Ariadne with SOMEBODY

  3) Either Echo or an apotheosisized Zerbinetta

  I guess Handel’s “Semele.”
  Photo 1: Ino and Athamas chat about their love before going shooting.
  Photo 2: Jupiter tries to convince Semele not to see his true self.
  Photo 3: A newly elevated and resplendently god-favored Semele sings “Endless Pleasure” (or “Myself I Shall Adore”).
