Which opera best suits you

[chickenfeet]

The Metropolitan Opera has a quiz to help you figure out what kind of opera you might like. It's funny in a memeish sort of way without apparently having been written by an American high school student.

Depending which way I swing on a couple of questions I score as Madam Butterfly or Lucia di Lammermoor.

I got Don Giovanni with Tristan und Isolde as a second option.

Of course, I don't know how accurate that is - although I do have a strong attraction to the Liebstode (?) from T&I.

Heh, that was fun! I should post about that later. I got 'La Sonnambula', with a note that I might also be interested in 'Madama Butterfly'.

I shall be seeing both of those later in the season

Yes! The quiz result continued "Fortunately for you, the Met will present a new production..." The Sonnambula should be good! I've seen Florez as Elvino before, but I'd love to see Dessay as Amina. I should check my diary...

Hmmmm....I come out as Madam Butterfly, too, even though I'd consider myself more of a Russalka kinda girl.

Queen of Spades or Lucia di Lammermoor. I'm not overly fond of the second, but I've always wanted to know more about the first. It's certainly a change from my usual default preference of Cavalleria Rusticana/Pagliacci.

Hmmm, Don Giovanni with Tristan und Isolde as a backup. Having seen neither I'm not sure but I suppose they should be worth a shot.

Neither of them are big favourites of mine. At least Don Giovanni doesn't take an entire, very long, act to die howwibly, howwibly.

I love Don Giovanni musically. I'm just less and less excited about it because I've seen it so many times. I actually prefer it to Cosi Fan Tutti

Another Butterfly here

Lucia di Lammermoor with Queen of Spades as possible back up.

me, too!

This is seriously broken. I also get those two. And "Queen of Spades," when I have such a hard time stomaching anything Tchaikovsky.
