It's amazing how the music works so well in moving the story and projecting the drama even though much of it was actually recycled from Bellini's failed previous opera, Zaira. not a note out of place and not a sound more than the bare necessity (which is one of the reason why singers sort of dread it, I think. It is so lightly orchestrated that the singers have to carry all the drama while coping with all that gracefully long legato melisma lines and other stuff). When you've got a great bel canto singing cast for that opera, it's art.

  • Like many Americans, I first fell in love with opera listening to The Metropolitan Opera broadcasts on Saturday afternoons. Often I enjoyed the intermission features as much as the opera itself, my favorite being the Texaco Opera Quiz. I could never answer the questions, except perhaps the name that tune variety. After years of listening and feeling rather unsophisticated, I came across the book What's Your Opera I.Q.? I figured I could at least learn trivial bits of information from the book. I began looking at the quizzes, and found that I could answer some of the questions on the radio quiz without reading countless other books simply by taking these opera quizzes. The book contains opera quizzes on every imaginable subject from the obvious such as composers and singers to famous books read by opera characters, animals that play a role in opera, quizzes about opera history, and the like. The book is fun, makes learning about opera enjoyable, can make the reader look smarter than he/she is, and who knows, the reader may land a spot on the Saturday afternoon Metropolitan Opera Quiz.

  • What a delightful book! It is truly like a most delicious desert for an opera-goer.

    Iris Bass' knowledge of the opera world is profound, and here is much to inform the novice to this greatest of art-forms, as well as to the most experienced connoisseur. Recommended to all!

    One further question for "Extra Credit":

    Q. From which opera is the title of this review taken?

    A. Luigi Cherubini's "Médée," Act I. For, in truth, this description of the Colchian princess can also be said of opera itself....
