As the holiday weekend is rapidly catching up to me, I must hurry this fortnight's article along a bit. And so, with this column, I'm introducing what I hope will be a bimonthly (or so) feature: The Suite101 Opera Quiz.
This week's quiz is on great soprano/mezzo arias. Your job is to name the character and the opera from which each of these famous soprano or mezzo-soprano arias comes. Feel free to post your answers in a discussion forum. I'll post the answers in a week or two.
1. O patria mia
2. Habanera (L'amour est un oiseau rebelle)
3. Der Hoelle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen
4. Una voce poco fa
5. Mi chiamano Mimi
6. Un bel di vedremo
7. Caro nome
8. Vissi d'arte
9. Signore, ascolta!
10. O mio babbino caro
11. Casta Diva
12. The Jewel Song (Ah, je ris de me voir)
13. Mein Herr Marquis, ein Mann wie Sie
14. Voi, che sapete
15. Una volta c'era un re
