Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. To start off easy: In which opera will you find the famous "La Donna � Mobile"?

Answer: Rigoletto

No doubt one of the most popular pieces of the world. It's the aria of the Count of Mantua in Verdi's "Rigoletto". The Count, a real ladykiller, sings of women and love, and how unstable and undecided they are...

2. Which German opera by a very famous composer features "Der H�lle Rache Kocht in Meinem Herzen"?

Answer: Die Zauberfl�te (The Magic Flute)

It's the aria of the Queen of the Night. She tells her daughter Pamina that she wants her to kill Sarastro, the priest who took care of Pamina in order to protect her from her vicious mother. The opera was composed by Mozart.

3. In which Verdi opera can you hear the heartbreaking complaint "Ella giammai m'amo"?

Answer: Don Carlos

"She never loved me". King Philip muses over his marriage with Elisabeth, the French princess who is actually in love with Philip's son Carlos. This is my favorite Verdi opera (along with "La Traviata"), and this aria is one hell of a tear-jerker! Especially when Nicolai Ghiaurov sings it.

4. "Salute! demeure chaste et pure". In which opera can you hear this wonderful declaration of love?

Answer: Faust

By Charles Gounod.

5. Another very famous aria, "E Lucevan le Stelle", comes from a Puccini opera, but which one?

Answer: Tosca

This is what Cavaradossi sings right before his execution. He remembers all the moments of love he had with Tosca. The aria is "pure Puccini".

6. Who composed the opera that features arias such as "Largo al Factotum Della Citta", "Una Voce Poco Fa" and "Ecco Ridente"?

Answer: Rossini

"Il Barbiere di Siviglia", a very funny opera about the theme of themes. This is the story which is continued in Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro".

7. Which character in Wagner's "Die Walk�re" (The Valkyrie) sings the aria "Der Augen Leuchtendes Paar"?

Answer: Wotan

One of the most touching pieces Wagner has ever composed. Wotan must punish his daughter - by request of his wife Fricka - and this is how he says goodbye.

8. The "champagne aria" is from which opera?

Answer: Don Giovanni

Don Giovanni's aria. The opera also features the famous pieces "Dalla Sua Pace" and "L� Ci Darem la Mano". It is one of Mozart's most popular works.

9. What is Calaf's famous aria from "Turandot" called?

Answer: Nessun dorma

"Turandot" was Puccini's last opera.

10. Which opera features the pieces "La Fleur Que Tu M'avais Jet�e", "Votre Toast.../ Tor�ador, en Garde", and the habanera "L'amour est un Oiseau Rebelle"?
