Regie round the clock

regie_02_28_03Bravo Monsieur (or Madame) 79CXR for your guess in the most recent Regie quiz. The work depicted is indeed Béatrice et Benedict, in a production for the Opéra Comique directed by Dan Jemmett. The staging, La Cieca regrets to say, was not taken in with pleasure; critiques are headlined everything from “The enterprise overall does a disservice to the cause of Berlioz” to “Berlioz entre Guignol et les Monty Python.” Let’s hope this week’s puzzler got better notices!

Kukla, Fran and Regie

regie_02_21_04La Cieca is going to claim doyennical privilege here and say that the correct answers for last week’s Regie quiz are disqualified on grounds of a) silly guess and b) prior knowledge. Otherwise how could she go on with these Regie quizzes, knowing that such wildly unlikely images would immediately shout “Die Meistersinger” to you?  Anyway, more “unlikely images” after the jump.  Read more »

Regie, pagliaccio

regie_02_14_03It is not perhaps so surprising that even with the cleverest of the cher public participating, nobody jumped in with the right answer for last week’s Regie quiz. After all, the work depicted was Die Blume von Hawaii, the 1931 operetta composed, as you all know, by Paul Abraham to a libretto by Alfred Grünwald, Fritz Löhner-Beda, and Emmerich FöldesRead more »

Regiematazz

Will was the first cher pube to firmly commit to Don Pasquale, and as such he will be counted the winner of our most recent Regie quiz. Special thanks to eckermann, who earned "Le Mot du Jour" for his meticulously detailed (if totally off-base) analysisRead more »

Regie Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off

Congratulations LogeLizard for so adeptly pinpointing Manon Lescaut as the solution to our most recent Regie quiz. The production was by Graham Vick for the Teatro la Fenice, and we have a glimpse of this regie in action after the jump. Read more »

Have I stayed too long at the Regie?

Right you are if you think you are, cher public! Our most recent Regie quiz did indeed depict a new production of Wagner's Rienzi, directed by Philipp Stölzl. (Photo credit: Bettina Stoess im Auftrag der Deutschen Oper Berlin) No handy dome-shaped landmarks in this next quiz, cher public, so La Cieca will leave you to it:  Read more »

The March of Regie

Our Own Ercole Farnese exercised his sharp eye for detail almost before La Cieca got the most recent Regie quiz posted: within 25 minutes he identified the work in question as Norma. We have video of the controversial Peter Mussbach staging after the jump.   Read more »

And the Regie you rode in on

La Cieca admits the Regie quiz candidate from a couple of weeks ago was something of a ringer as it was a new work, and a children's opera at that. So it's only reasonable that none of you guessed it was Antonia und der Reißteufel, as performed at the Vienna Volksoper. (Duh!) Read more »
