Question
In a rehearsal for this opera, Tito Gobbi extinguished a fire on Maria Callas’ wig. Maria Jeritza (“HAIR-it-zuh”) began the tradition of performing an aria in this opera while lying down; after that aria, a character places a crucifix on a dead man’s heart. A portrait of the blonde Mary Magdalene is compared to the dark-haired title character of this opera in the aria “Recondita armonia.” This opera’s title character proclaims that she “lived for art” in the aria “Vissi d’arte,” before which Baron Scarpia offers to save her lover, the painter Mario Cavaradossi, if she gives herself to him. For 10 points, name this Giacomo Puccini opera whose title singer jumps off the Castel Sant’Angelo. ■END■
