Opera Quiz: How Well Do You Know the Great Black Artists in Opera History?

It’s Black History Month!

This year we are going to have some fun, providing opera quizzes throughout the month that allow audiences to learn a bit more about the rich history of black artists in the world of opera.

Here is the first of the them.
