Max in Der Freischutz?

Ber-ber-Bingo young mercia! Great stuff!

[mercia]

well I don't think we're looking for a particular singer because these are not all tenor or all baritone or all bass roles

[Norfolk Born]

Giraldone?

[vinteuil]

Giraldone?

who she?

Think more in terms of the story, the plot...

[Norfolk Born]

Sorry, my brain's starting to hurt. I shall relax by watching one episode each of 'Will and Grace' and 'Poirot'.
(Is it my imagination, or have most of the recent questions on this thread been unenjoyably difficult?)

[antongould]

Totally stumped but then it's bleeding opera isn't it? Where is mercia when needed!?

[Dave2002]

Probably gun.

[Nick Armstrong]

who she?

Been puzzling quietly and sneaking looks at wiki all afternoon....

But it's a case of:



or more like:

[vinteuil]

Probably gun.

And Dave romps home!

Yes, a gun being a key element in la Forza del Destino, where don Alvaro accidentally shoots the Marchese di Calatrava; in Un Ballo in Maschera, where Renato [Anckarstroem] shoots Riccardo Count of Warwick, Governor of Boston [Gustavus III] at the ball; and of course in der Freischutz...

looking forward to Dave's H ...

[Nick Armstrong]

well thank you, and a nod of appreciation to the Calib-man who did all the work really...

an easy peasy G for today -


... a G which connects Alvaro, Renato, and Max?

I failed to deny your generous compliment - I finished what you had begun.

Last thought for today: G for Gypsy? There seem to be references to various gypsies floating around in Ballo in Maschera, Forza del Destino... and there's spells, magic & what-not afoot in Freischütz...


EDIT: B*ll*cks. Nifty cross-posting by Dave. Ho-hum.

Thanks. I did have the answers, but you filled them in for me anyway.

I think the H will have to wait until tomorrow now. Sleep tight guys.

[Anna]

Oh, I thought the Max might be Maretzek and the G could be Graziani. Oh well, glad I kept quiet now!! Well done Dave.

Wish I had Anna

As my grandpa used to say: "Better keep your mouth shut and have folk think you a fool, than open it and remove all doubt..."

Never mind! It was indeed easy peasy in terms of simplicity, I think we were all thinking too hard! Good one vin santo.

[Dave2002]

H

What H has connections with Reiner, a Metropolitan first, and something silly?

[mercia]

Where is mercia

he'd gone to bed. It had occured to me the answer might be gun (honest) but my downfall was relying on wikipedia which states that Riccardo dies as the result of a stabbing. [EDIT - my Penguin guide to opera says the same thing]
