In honor of the upcoming Met Opening Night, here’s a singer identification quiz featuring, for a change, music for a tenor: the climactic phrase from Otello’s third act monologue.  

In the following sound clip compiled by Our Own Christopher Corwin you will hear 14 artists performing this magnificent phrase:

Your task, cher public, is to identify all 14 singers, in the correct order, in the comments section below. The first parterrian to name all 14 in the correct order (or, should no one accomplish this feat, the commenter who identifies the most correctly at the time the contest ends) will win the prize of a coveted Amazon Gift Card in the amount of $75.00. The closing date is Monday, September 21, 2015 at midnight.

In case of a tie, the earliest timestamped of the tying comments will be declared the winner. All decisions will be made by La Cieca, which I don’t think I need to tell you implies finality.

Ready? Start listening!
