Question

A 2014 ROH production of this opera projects chalk-drawn handwriting onto the front facade of its black and white set. Eberhard Wächter (“VESH-turr”) plays the title character of this opera in a 1959 recording conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini. Felice Ponziani’s role in this opera’s Prague premiere inspired the declaration (10[1])that he is “all too familiar” with a performance at a banquet that quotes one (10[1])of the composer’s previous operas. (10[2])This opera’s title character is told (10[1])“a cenar teco” (“ah chay-NAR TAY-ko”) by a character (10[1])whose three knocks are accompanied (10[1])by loud (-5[1])D minor (-5[1])chords from the overture. In this opera, Leporello (10[1]-5[1])sings about (10[3])1003 (10[1])Spanish (10[1])women to Donna Elvira, detailing his master’s seduction in its “Catalogue” (10[1])aria. For 10 points, a statue (10[1])of the Commendatore (10[1])drags the title character of what Mozart (10[1])opera to hell? ■END■ (10[2]0[1])
