Diabolically Fun Opera Trivia at Seattle University

Congratulations to Warren Moskowitz, opera trivia champ Tuesday night at Opera InQUIZitive, our FREE Adult Education and Trivia series hosted at Seattle University! This week’s theme was The Devil & Friends, and Warren proved that he knows much—maybe too much?—about diabolical operatic baddies such as Méphistophélès, Iago, Hagen, and Carmen.

Opera InQUIZitive offers an exploration of music and myth, with plenty of fun and games to boot! Jonathan Dean, author of Seattle Opera’s supertitles and Spotlight Guides, and Tony Kay, critic, trivia master, and NW champion film fanatic, will lead inquisitive minds through a series of mythic archetypes, ranging from beloved operas to pop culture, with nightly trivia games such as “What’s My Line,” “Wait, Wait...Don’t Tell Me” and “Jeopardy.”

At this week’s Opera InQUIZitive, we hunted down archetypes of the Devil, from the snake in the Garden of Eden and Satan in the book of Job, through such operas as Das Rheingold, Salome, and Porgy and Bess, plus such pop culture devils as a 1938 Donald Duck cartoon, the Charlie Daniels Band’s 1979 country/pop crossover hit tune “The Devil Rides a Fiddlestick,” and cinematic devils including Robert DeNiro (as Louis Cyphre in Angel Heart) and Tim Curry (as Darkness in Legend).

Join us at upcoming nights of Opera InQUIZitive:

November 18: The Tyrant – Scarpia and Worse
December 16: The Hero’s Quest
January 27, 2015: The Diva Goddess
February 24: God, King, and Father
March 24: The Clown – from Arlecchino to Zerbinetta
April 28: Donna Abandonnata– Ariadne and Her Sisters
May 26: The Musician

Presented in the Wyckoff Auditorium in the Bannan Center for Science & Engineering on the Seattle University campus, Thursday evenings from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

  2. My partner and I have been together for 12 years but we broke up 3 years ago after our fight over his cheating habits which they all say it's not their fault but I was the one getting hurt. I was upset over the whole issue that I had to call for the separation but I felt really bad. The separation really had effects on my daughter who had to live away from her father that I had to think of a way to settle things out and find solution to my husband's awkward behavior. I found out about a spell caster Priest Odunga who helped me with the problem to make my spouse come back to me and make him stop cheating. Soon, Richard came back to me begging at Sicily where I stayed after our divorce and I told him he has to show me he has changed for me to believe him. He came back twice after that day to Sicily begging me to have him back. Its been 8 months now since my husband came back to me and we have been living together since that day. I believe this man can also help too with your problem. His email address is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com or WhatsApp him at +2348167159012

I know there are lots of women like me out there who has done so much to have back their Husband, I am here to tell you the answer is right here. I sincerely believe if there are up to five spell casters like Dr. isong this world would be a better place, I have seen people complaining on how fake spell castes promised to help them but couldn't. with Dr isong I tell you your problem is already solved because i experienced alot when my Husband and I had been apart for 4years and I couldn't bear living without him, I have tried everything to have him back but nothing was working until I saw numerous testimonies about a spell caster call Dr isong on how great his work is. I contacted him immediately and follow the step that he ask and in the next 48 hours my husband called me and was eager for my forgiveness and that he wished nothing more than to have me in his arms forever. I filled so much joy and happiness that I found Dr isong. I hope you all here will find this testimony of mine and get your husband back in just 48 hours isong contact is drisongspellhome@gmail.com you can also call or whatsapp him on +2347063612587.
