Ring around the Regie

Same character, same opera, different productions. Guesses?

Jaquino, of course.

Donner!

I'm going to go with the obvious and guess Tannhauser or Orpheus.

Also, Rosina.

Erda? I have no clue

Sticking with Rheingold, maybe Wotan himself?

Lisa Hirsch said...

Alfredo Germont?

If Ring, I'd say Gunther

Orpheus!...in every kind of places

Damn I actually know this one based on the photo of Otter from a recent production - so I'll just say one of the above answers is right.

It is almost certainly Uberto in La Serva Padrona. Oh I'm just joshing around; I just think La Serva Padrona is always a funny answer to anything. What are you going to see tonight? I don't know, La Serva Padrona or something.

Tannhauser!

It would be too obvious to say Hoffmann or Faust or the Flying Dutchman. So I'll go with Wotan.

olivia said...

It's so obviously Hannah Glawari. The black gives it away.

Mime?

Baritenor said...

Got to be Orpheus, now that I think of it. Though I don't know why Orpheo is an old woman in the last photo.

I can't look at that last picture without thinking of Pinhead.

What is it supposed to mean? Who wants to look at that on stage?

Boheme. The first picture shows Rodolfo in the front with the dying Mimi and Musetta behind him. The others must be the bohemiams.

Of course, it could also be Traviata with (1) Alfredo, Violetta and Annina in the last act, (2) Germont pere going over Violetta's bills in Act 2, and (3) Alfredo gone bezerk in the second scene of Act 2, or could that be the Barone?

I was thinking it might be Der Rosenkavalier: Photo 1, a very young and uncharacteristically love-sick Baron Ochs, with 'Mariandel' just behind him and the Marschallin still in bed with the vapors. Photo 2, Ochs going over the prenuptials one last time at Faninal's house. Photo 3, in the third act Inn, just before Ochs misplaces his wig.

But from willym's clue, I guess that's wrong, so it must be Orpheus. Unless it's Cherubino.

Who would have thought I would ever know the answer to one of La Cieca's mystery regie questions! This is Orpheus. The third one, with the long hair from the shoulder is Gluck's version, the others I can't be sure of.

olivia said...

All I know is, Glimmerglass that ain't. And if it is Orpheus, I'm going to gloat for a good 25 minutes about being the first person to give a right answer.

And if it isn't, then I'm gong to add another guess for The Bartered Bride.

So... are we left to assume that Orpheus is indeed the correct answer? Will an "official" answer - with production details - be provided? Or did I miss it?? Apologies if so.

It's Orpheus indeed. Forst picture is from a production in southern Austria
