Daily Question 5

Once again, connect the four images. They form a list, by no means exhaustive, but certainly the most well known examples of their kind. This should be a slightly more challenging question after yesterdays sitter.






Pics :
1) Alamillo Bridge, Seville, Spain
2) Cinderella
3) Pic about William Tell
4) Film Othello

Connect : Operas by Gioachino Antonio Rossini

1) Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)
2) La Cenerentola (Cinderella)
3) Guillaume Tell (William Tell)
4) Otello, ossia Il Moro di Venezia (Othello, The Moor of Venice)

Cracked by Amith, Vishal, Vinayak, Tempo, Peregrine, Raytracer, Kaballah, Arbit, Kaushik and Arun. Samaadhi had an interesting and vague answer that came nowhere close.

The connect is Gioachino Rossini-
1. Thats the Alamillo Bridge in SEVILLE
2. CINDERELLA
3. "The Far Side" comic strip illustrating the story of WILLIAM TELL
4. Poster for the movie OTHELLO

La Cenerentola (Cinderella), The Barber of Seville, Otello and Guillaume Tell (William Tell) are operas by Rossini

quoting Wiki:
"Gioachino Antonio Rossini (February 29, 1792 – November 13, 1868) was a popular Italian composer who created 39 operas as well as sacred music and chamber music. His best known works include Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville), La Cenerentola and Guillaume Tell (William Tell)."

Connect- Gioachino Antonio Rossini

Visual 1:The Alamillo Bridge in Seville, built for Seville's Expo '92;Seville is the primary setting of many operas,Rossini's "The Barber of Seville being one of the better known ones.
Visual 2:Cinderella;Cinderella, or Goodness Triumphant) is an operatic dramma giocoso in two acts by Gioacchino Rossini
Visual 3:A reference to William Tell;Cartoonist Gary Larson lampooned the story in a Far Side strip hinting that William Tell had an older son with gigantism, and that his first attempt to shoot the apple turned predicably tragic.Guillaume Tell(William Tell) is an opera in four acts by Gioachino Rossini.
Visual 4:Othello;The visual is from the 1995 film of the same name.Otello is an opera in three acts by Gioacchino Rossini

P.S: ARBITMAXX!!

unsequitur said...

just a guess.... possibly variations from the original?
(a) puente del alamillo was intended to be 2 bridges, ended up as one
(b) and (c) william tell and cinderella with their movie adaptations and various versions of stories
(d) othello with fishburne having a completely different script from the original...
