 | What's Your Opera I. Q.? by Iris Bass
Contemporary, comprehensive, cunning, and occasionally downright crazy, What`s Your Opera I.Q.? will provide hours of fun for opera aficionados who think they know all the answers...and those who still have many musical questions of their own. Written to reflect what has been happening in the operatic world during the last two decades, more than 120 quizzes range over every imaginable topic from early and bel canto works, American composers and singers, avant-garde stagings, and -- thanks to increased understanding via surtitles and subtitles -- the words as well as the music. So test yourself and see if you can answer - What kind of wood was the magic flute carved from? - What was the first Handel opera to be performed by the Metropolitan Opera? - How many Academy Awards did Amadeus win?
