Congratulations to Leitbreite (not pictured) whose cunning ears identified all but one of the singers in last week’s “Orpheus” quiz.  

The one wrong answer in Leitbreite’s final entry was No. 15, which was correctly guessed in several previous attempts, so I’m calling this one the clear-cut winner.

For the curious among you, here’s the complete roster of participating singers, venues and dates.

  1. Giulietta Simionato Salzburg 1959
  2. Richard Croft Versailles 2009
  3. David Daniels Met 2007
  4. Fedora Barbieri La Scala 1951
  5. Colin Lee Moscow 2014
  6. Zarah Leander Soundtrack of film Heimat 1938
