Regie de los Muertos
As several of you were sharp-eyed enough to notice (and sharp-tongued enough to mention), our previous Regie quiz was in fact a repeat, and La Cieca is sorry to say it looks like a production that hardly deserved a reprise: Rossini’s Semiramide directed by Nigel Lowery. A new and different challenge to your sleuthing skills may be found following the jump.
Remember, cher public, if you recognize the production, stay quiet and give others a change to puzzle it out.
Il Postino
Les Conte D’Hoffmann is too obvious I guess, so I think Don Giovanni…
could it be Manon?
I want that thing in the back to be the dragon in Siegfried so badly.
It looks like a Niki de St Phalle sculpture. The mix of styles is so dizzying it could be anything.
Bomarzo.
By Ginastera.
Triple Bill:
1.) Treemonisha appears to the Phantom of the Opera to beg him to stop Rufus Wainright from composing any more operas.
2. Parke Overall (in the black draculetta wig) makes her operatic debut at court, where Stravinsky’s Fisherman wails to beg for the Nightingale’s release
3.) Donizetti’s Diluvio universale
Obviously this is Elisabetta, regina al Castello di Kentilworth!
Or might it be DG?
It has to be Un Ballo in Maschera of course!!! (I cant believe anyone else did not say it!!!)
Lucrezia Borgia
oh come on now it has to be Billy Budd! Isn’t everything eventually?
