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 (-5[1])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 (-5[1])in the aria “Recondita armonia.” This opera’s (10[1])title character proclaims that she “lived for art” in the aria “Vissi d’arte,” before which Baron Scarpia (10[1])offers to save her lover, the painter Mario Cavaradossi, (10[1])if she gives herself to him. For 10 points, name this Giacomo Puccini opera whose title singer (-5[1])jumps off the Castel Sant’Angelo. ■END■ (0[1])
