Opera Quiz: What Follows This Iconic Opera Text?

Opera is full of iconic text. You all know those famous lines or arias that encapsulate them.

But what if you were shown a translation of some text following those famous verses? Now stripped of their music and their original language, how well do you know them?

That’s what this quiz is all about. So here are the rules.

We’ll give you some text in the original language and your job is to pick which text follows IMMEDIATELY after in the original musical passage. Not a few lines or bars later, but right after the prompt.

Have fun.
