The man behind the mask


So....

Who's the man behind the mask and what is Marina Poplavskaya doing with him?


Take a wild guess...



Take a wilder one...


............

The man behind the Mask is our own Marcelo Álvarez in a production of Il Trovatore by Giancarlo del Monaco in Zurich, where Leonora is wearing a chinchilla coat...



... Manrico and Azucena are obviously Hells Angels...



...and where the set (and even the costumes)
vaguely (???) remind me of another production...


(Götz Friedrich’s 1984–85 production of the Ring)

***Performances of Il Trovatore at the Opernhaus Zürich till the 17th of January***
