Adding operatic voices, one at a time

1. song “Mein lieber Schwan”/Wagner: Lohengrin

2. duet “Au fond du temple saint”/Bizet: The Pearl Fishers

3. trio “Soave sia il vento”/Mozart: Così fan tutte

4. quartet “Bella Figlia Dell’Amore”/Verdi: Rigoletto

5. quintet “Nous avons en tete una affaire”/Bizet: Carmen

6. sextet “Chi Mi Frena In Tal Momento”/Donizetti: Lucia di Lamermoor

7. septet “Hélas, mon cœur s’égare encore”/Offenbach: Les Contes d’Hoffmann

8. octet ‘Das Huldigungsfestpiel, die grandiose “azione teatrale”‘/Strauss: Capriccio

9. nonet at the finale of Act II/Verdi: Falstaff

This is the kind of little music list Pantelis Polychronidis, my “other self,” and I usually make during intermission.

Gentle reader, you may suggest a #10 decet for this list
or offer your own similar list of 1-9 operatic voices, adding one voice at a time.
(You may collaborate with your “other self” or “other half.”)
