Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I'm one of the few sane people in this first ballet! Among the many bizarre characters I encounter are a photographer that turns into a rabbit, a tap-dancing milliner, a crazy duchess and her pig baby, and a queen obsessed with the color red.
2. I fall down a vortex into another ballet, where I certainly am popular. Everyone seems to want me--a handsome soldier (who's already engaged), a creepy priest, a reclusive hunchback, and my husband, who I only married to prevent his death. In what ballet did I land in the main role?
3. The scene goes dark. Then a spotlight picks out my hands. It slowly lights up my whole body, and I see I'm dancing on a table. The music's repetitive, playing the same two melodies for 15 minutes, but everyone watching is entranced! What short ballet am I dancing solo?
4. Oh, what's that thing on the wall? It's shaped like me, runs away when I run towards it, and follows me when I try to flee it! In what watery ballet have I just discovered my shadow?
5. No more shadow dancing--now I'm a ghost nurse dancing with men dressed as soldiers against a backdrop of hills and wires. In what plotless ballet set during WWI did I land?
6. The ballet stage fades to black...just as my character has a blackout. In a vision, I dance with the spirit of my mother, who is shocked to see blood stains on my dress. Now I've come around. In which ballet am I accused of murdering my father and stepmother?
7. Oh dear, something's gone terribly wrong in the next ballet I've fallen into. Of the six dancers on stage, one of us is always doing the wrong thing! One goes right while the others go left, one's arms are wrong...we're hardly ever together! There must have been some intense rehearsals to make this dance look unintentionally wrong.
8. Hey! In this ballet, I get to have fun storming the castle! A couple have been kidnapped on their wedding day, and we villagers get to break into the castle to get them back! What fun!
9. What a depressing ballet I've been hurled into next! I'm a flower-wearing courtesan dying of consumption, and my lover has forsaken me. I eventually die, and all my possession are sold. I can't help thinking I've seen this story before in an opera.
10. The scenery whirls around me, and I'm in a much more fun ballet this time, though I can't see very well! I'm dressed as a duck, wearing yellow tights and shoes. A fox is pretending to court me, but he's just trying to get me into his soup pot! What am I in?
