It has been said that at parterre.com the only way to separate the men from the boys is by calling in the vice cops, but La Cieca begs to differ. Many of the regulars on this site call themselves opera queens, but La Cieca is betting that perhaps one, perhaps several, perhaps none of you will be able to identify all 14 sopranos singing a key phrase from La traviata.
Whichsoever one of you is first to email La Cieca with all 14 names in the correct order will not only be crowned “Queen Among Men,” but will receive a special supersized amazon.com
gift card. (In the unlikely event that nobody gets a perfect score, La Cieca will throw the discussion open to a general melee in the comments section.)
La Cieca gives credit where credit is due: this audio quiz was created by the lilting Lindoro Almaviva.
