QR – Cure – Quizzing Realms – 167

YAY! The blog has officially crossed 10,000 visitors!

A verbal connect today.

Connect Master Yoda from the Star Wars films, the extra terrestrial from Spielberg’s ET: The Extra Terrestrial, a ballet called Constant Speed that was performed by the Rambert Dance Company, and a 1976 opera directed by Robert Wilson, which Philip Glass wrote and scored the music for.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

*************

Once again, three replies and all correct! The answer is indeed Albert Einstein!

Both ET and Yoda were modelled on him, and the ballet as well as the opera were written about him!

  2. Einstein...
    Yoda's looks were rumoured to have been based on Einstein.
    ET's eyes were modelled on those of Einstein (and Carl Sandburg and Hemingway).
    Googled and found that the opera was called Einstein on the Beach
