La Cieca is shocked, shocked to see that not a one of you clever cher public were able to work out the solution to last week’s Regie quiz. Admittedly it’s a work not very often revived, but it should at least be a familiar title: Rossini’s Semiramide, as done here in a staging by Nigel Lowery for De Vlaamse Opera.

Our next puzzle may look like more of the same Semiramide, but La Cieca assures you it’s a very different work indeed: after the jump.
