@tornaloadir yes it is L’elisir d’amore. I can’t say I really know the opera but I happened to catch this screen grab at some point while sussing out the Wiener Staatsoper livestreams ahead of Ariodante earlier this year. I saved the accidental still to my hard drive and promptly forgot about it until I went rummaging for something else the other day.

His favorite attire when at work is a red robe de chambre. He calls the wearing of this, “homarder,” Schneider tells us - “homard” being the French for lobster.
