Thanks for playing our 2014/15 Season Announcement trivia game everyone! Here are the answers to the questions: 1. Michael Jackson might not have had opera in mind when he wrote one of the singles from his Thriller album in 1982, but we think this soprano’s parents took a cue from the title when naming her. She’ll be back in the sixth opera of our coming season. [Pretty Yende] 2. She made a name for herself in LA with stellar appearances in Idomeneo, Pagliacci, and El Gato Montes. Now, this stunning artist (one of LA Opera’s favorite leading ladies) will return for an unprecedented seventh leading soprano role here at LA Opera. Who is she? [Verónica Villarroel] 3. He was introduced to Los Angeles as a butcher’s assistant with a love of peaches and lemonade. Who is this velvety voiced singer, returning for his third role (and his second title role) this autumn? [Liam Bonner] 4. In her three L.A. appearances to date, she has been divine in Donizetti, rousing in Rossini and glamorous in Gounod. (We think she’ll be magnetic in Massenet, too!) Who is this exciting young prima donna, returning in the opening production of the 2014/15 season? [Nino Machaidze] 5. This winner of the prestigious Richard Tucker Award, known for her rich voice and keen dramatic instincts, has thrilled LAO in three starring roles to date. Who is this diva on detour, returning as one of the most iconic female figures in history? [Patricia Racette] 6. This singer’s last appearance at LA Opera earned a Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording. When she returns, she’ll take on a role once sung by Marilyn Horne. Who is she? [Patti LuPone] 7. Three baritones - a Russian, an American and an Italian - walk into a bar and… Well, it might actually happen next season! Our trio of international barihunks will all be singing the same role - but in three different operas. Name the character they will portray. [Figaro] Winners will be announced by 5:00pm today. :-)
