Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Renato reveals his anguish over his wife's betrayal with his best friend.

Answer: "Eri tu"

This aria from "Un Ballo in Maschera" by Verdi is a baritone's dream.

2. Delilah seduces Samson with which aria?

Answer: "Mon Coeur s'ouvre a ta voix"

Who could blame Samson for falling for Delilah after such a sensual aria? The big moment from Saint-Saens' "Samson et Delilah."

3. Rigoletto muses upon the similarities between himself and the assasin, Sparafucile.

Answer: "Pari siamo"

In this aria, Verdi showed what a master dramatist he was, exploring the innermost thoughts and emotions of the character through his music. "Rigoletto" is the great test for all Verdi baritones.

4. Countess Almaviva looks back nostalgically on her lost days of happiness with her husband.

Answer: "Dove sono"

This sad, beautiful aria from "Le Nozze di Figaro" is another example of Mozart's brilliance.

5. Dick Johnson pleads to the lynch mob to tell Minnie that he escaped.

Answer: "Ch'ella mi creda libero"

This is by far the best-known piece from Puccini's "La Fanciulla del West." It's a shame that this opera is so infrequently performed, as it is abundant with drama and interesting musical ideas.

6. Max looks back upon his past happiness.

Answer: "Durch die Walder, durch die Auen"

This aria from Weber's "Der Freischutz" helped make the opera one of the most popular German operas.

7. Fiesco mourns his daughter's death.

Answer: "Il lacerato spirito"

Once somewhat neglected, Verdi's "Simon Boccanegra", from which this aria comes, is now acknowledged as a masterpiece and performed fairly frequently.

8. Carmen convinces Don Jose to set her free in one of the most famous arias in the repetoire.

Answer: "Seguidilla"

This is just one of the many moments from Bizet's "Carmen" which makes it one of the world's favorite operas.

9. Doctor Dulcamara addresses the villagers.

Answer: "Udite, udite, o rustici"

This great patter song from Donizetti's masterpiece "L'Elisir d'Amore" ranks among the more fun arias to sing in all opera.

10. Mario sings a plaintive farewell to art, life and his beloved.

Answer: "E lucevan le stelle"

One of the greatest moments from Puccini's "Tosca."
