Question
Vendulka repeatedly refuses to do this action because she thinks it would disturb the ghost of Lukáš’s dead wife in an opera titled for this action by Smetana. In Rusalka’s final scene, the Prince begs the title water nymph to perform this action, knowing it will kill him. This action titles a popular “vocal waltz” by Luigi Arditi. This action names a gentle E major theme introduced in the Act I duet “Già (“jah”) nella notte densa” that returns twice in Act IV during (*) Otello’s entrance and suicide. A repeated note and a rising fourth represent this action just as the orchestra builds to a “sickening” 8-note polytonal chord that resolves to C-sharp major. While stabbing Baron Scarpia, Tosca shouts, “this is Tosca’s” this word. After experiencing fear for the first time, Siegfried does this action to wake Brünnhilde. For 10 points, what action does Salome (“ZAH-lo-may”) do to Jochaanan’s plated, severed head? ■END■
