Question
Wye Jamison Allanbrook’s analysis of dance rhythms and social class in this opera influenced Peter Sellars’ 1988 production of it set in Trump Tower. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this opera whose title character mocks his employer by imitating the upper class minuet in his cavatina “Se vuol ballare.” (“say vwal ba-LAR-ay”)
ANSWER: The Marriage of Figaro [or Le Nozze di Figaro] (Allanbrook’s book is called Rhythmic Gesture in Mozart.)
[10e] This Mozart character hosts a ball in which the pit orchestra and two onstage ensembles play three different dances simultaneously. During a feast, a statue of the Commendatore drags this character to hell.
ANSWER: Don Giovanni [prompt on Don Juan]
[10h] Allanbrook describes this peasant dance in Don Giovanni’s Champagne Aria as “danceless.” A similarly-named contemporary folk dance features couples lining up in two long lines and dancing down the line to the caller’s instructions, similar to a square dance.
ANSWER: contredanse [or contra dance]
