Speaking of RD music selections, did any team use operettas this season?

The 193 score for K/S at the Bosphorous Istanbul Cup is very high but not eyebrow raising considering how high the scoring was in general. It’s N/N’s 189 that’s relative to K/S’s score.
Might I ask why? Nazarova & Nikitin defeated Kaliszek & Spodyriev at Worlds in 2018 and the two teams finished back to back at Europeans that season and back to back at the 2017 World Championships. (Last year N&N were not close, but it was pretty clear that--along with switching coaches--they really were not ready or at their normal level for the post-Olympic season).
Because it’s 10+ points higher than their previous all-time highest score from this same season at a relatively high-scoring event [Minsk] as well (both teams were there as H/K was going 117 in the FD).
N/N being lofted well into the 110’s, however, is brand new territory. So I’m curious to see if they are now judged as a 108ish FD team when they hit in the bigger competitions.
I agree that the scores at Minsk were super high. If you are assuming, though, that the Bosphorous Istanbul Cup is a mutually high scoring event (which it sounds like you are based on your post?), then N&N would score quite a bit higher than Minsk if they did not splat in the FD, which they did in Minsk. They had a 3.00 deduction plus the dropped levels and negative 5 GOE there. (Probably lost at least 8 points in that FD?). I've not seen anything from the Bosphorous Istanbul Cup so I wouldn't know how well it was skated, but--despite the scores--the teams in Minsk were really not at their best).
According to David Molina's calculations, the maximum senior scores for this season are 96.02 in the rhythm dance and 141.58 in the free dance. In juniors, it is 87.62 in the rhythm dance and 128.74 in the free dance.Out of curiosity, does anyone know what is the maximum possible total score in ice dance? We must be getting pretty close to it and we aren't even done with Season 2 yet.

I saw the RD’s but maybe the FD’s loaded today. I went down from 1st to 6th place and all of them scored significantly higher than their all-time ISU highest total score with Lagouge/Caffa outpacing their Nepela previous highest total by 18 points. I just made a conclusion based on that fact.
Long live TEAM GADBOIS!Well, Marie-France sure knows how to bring the hammer down.
I wonder if RusFed even saw it coming?
Nerves, were real.Well no one is at their best today, except maybe C/B. Cursed rink?
Nerves, were real.
H D have been experimenting, growing and dealing with injury. The skated differently yesterday. As for S and K, the former cannot dance and that was painfully obvious yesterday and they were very nervous, why, because the IAM team came to dominate. Let the hunger games begin. Sonner or later I want to see that group sweep this thing. For all their pretty packaging Stepanova cannot skate and Sinitsina cannot really dance at the Ilinylh level or a level that will elevate or force Katsalapov to be any better. Maybe their junior teams will be more compatible. But meh....I don’t think the politics is done for H and D. They had some mistake laden skates
C and B are better then they’ve ever been.
S and K when they’re on have speed, power and good elements.
Both teams above have infinitely better material then H and D.
But IMO with better material H and D should be ahead. I think the judges think that too. They’re just waiting for H and D to bring the material. But they’re not going to wait much longer.
