Answer: Bluebeard

 The opera "Bluebeard's Castle" is in Hungarian and the libretto is based on an old French tale. The tale refers to a man that used to kill his wives. It is a one act opera and the Polish title translates to "The Blue-Bearded Duke's Castle". Blackbeard was a pirate and Barbarossa means red beard.

9. From which musical are the lyrics "The purple glow of indigo the gleam of green and gold"?

Answer: Barnum

 These are what I call colourful lyrics! The lyrics are from the song "Colours of My Life" from the musical Barnum. The musical recounts the life of P.T. Barnum. Barnum was an American entertainer and founder of a circus. The music for Barnum was written by Cy Coleman and the lyrics by Michael Stewart.
10. What colour was the clockwork created by Stanley Kubrick?

Answer: Orange

 "A Clockwork Orange" is based on the book with the same name by Anthony Burgess. The book was published in 1962 and the film was released in 1971. Malcolm McDowell portrays Alex DeLarge a gifted young villain. Alex is jailed and there undergoes an experimental aversion therapy, so that he could have his sentence reduced.

After watching this film I do not like "Singing in the Rain" anymore!
