The quiz determines which opera would be right for you. It is geared more to girls than to guys, is one fault it has, but I have to say it is very funny. I took the quiz at work and was laughing and laughing. I got my co-workers laughing too. That is how funny it is!
Without giving much away I will reveal that the opera the quiz ended up suggesting for me was...
The runner-up was "La Traviata."
Both operas that I like, I have to say that. I love the party scene in "Traviata"! Verdi could do parties, that was for sure. The end of the opera kind of bugged me, because I am so used to German opera where there is this weight when you get to a climactic moment. With Verdi you just got that little waltz rhythm and then a bel canto style melody and that bugged the heck out of me. I was looking around feeling confused and shortchanged. But other than that, I like "Traviata."
Take the quiz, someone, and let me know how it turns out.
Stiffelio, with a runner up of Simon Boccanegra. I've never seen either of those, so I don't know what that really says about me.
ReplyDeleteI got Elektra, then Hamlet. I was hoping for Nozze di Figaro, then Ariadne auf Naxos, but oh well. Love Elektra's orchestral score, I think minus the shrieking Elektra part it makes for a gorgeous symphony.
ReplyDeleteLa Bohème, with a runner-up of Tosca.
