BLIND TEST OPERA : THE FIRST OPERA TRIVIA !
BLIND TEST IS THE BLIND TEST'S TRADEMARK / 2000-2006
THE THRILL OF GAME-PLAY AND THE PASSION OF MUSIC
Put the CD on random mode in your stereo. Listen to the song samples and enjoy the questions posed by the DJ:
"Who composed Carmen?"
"When did Rossini write the Thieving Magpie ?
"What is the title of Verdi's famous work that Nana Mouskouri once performed with such extraordinary talent?
You may even be asked to identify some renowned melodies played backwards - from among the 99 samples of Verdi, Mozart, Strauss, Monteverdi, Berlioz, Rossini, Bizet, Wagner taken from the Naxos Catalogue.
99 SONG SAMPLES AND MORE THAN 500 QUIZ QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The 99 song samples and more than 500 trivia questions and answers supplied in Blind Test Opera will last the players quite some time. Players will also be amused to find included a deliciously massacred rendition of The Magic Flute recorded by American millionaire Florence Foster Jenkins. Made world-famous after his death in the 1940s, this self-financed recording reveals a vocal talent of which only its comic effect remains indisputable. (Check out track 95.)
THE WORLD'S FIRST MUSICAL TRIVIA GAME
Everybody loves opera, though sometimes quite unwittingly. The opera may seem elitist, but chances are we have each sung a grand aria at some point in the shower, without quite being able to put a name to those inspired melodies.
THE OPERA SMACKS INTO POP CULTURE
Donizetti's Mad Scene in the film The Fifth Element, the Mamma Morta in the film Philadelphia, Prizzi's Honor with the Barber of Seville - everybody recognises these but hardly anybody can name them! Don't worry, they're all in Blind Test Opera.
FOR OPERA AFICIONADOS AS WELL AS THE REST OF US
Can you tell the difference between Queen's and Traviata's versions of Bohemian Rhapsody? Following the example of Blind Test Piano, Blind Test Opera offers apprentice opera-lovers the chance to discover the opera with just a simple stereo, and to have a wonderful time doing so. And thanks to a hidden point system, a less-knowledgeable - but lucky - player can easily endanger the confirmed opera devotee. What's more, beginners players can hope to find the correct answers by process of elimination, while the most refined experts will be in quite a pickle trying to recognise "Jewel Song" (Faust) from the first measure.
