Opera

Venice, Italy is the setting for The City of Falling Angels (1996) by John Berendt.

It seems this is not public knowledge. Even 'Find a Grave' web site records it as 'unknown'. I suggest you check this web site from time to time as they update regularly.

There would seem to be no record of such an event happening. In fact it would be impossible face down.

Carmen - who actually works in a cigarette factory.

An opera curtain call is not an encore, it is an opportunity for the cast to present themselves -- usually in character -- at the front of the stage, so that the audience can show its appreciation for the performance.

An encore would include music -- a repeat of a section, aria, duet, or other music from the story.

Carmen was an opera that was composed by Georges Bizet, there are four acts in the play and while it was originally not popular it would become so, though tragically only after the death of George Bizet.

'Verismo'

According to a reliable source she fell to her death out an open apartment window. I do not know if this was accident or suicide, these are both possibilities. she was 44 at the time. the accident occured in London in l97l. ==More info== From an online biography: "She (Collier) made no secret of her loneliness and was once reported as saying: 'When rehearsals are over and you leave the theatre, there's nothing'. It was this public statement that led to rumours of suicide when her sudden death was announced on 8 December 1971. She had died of intercranial haemorrhage and a fractured skull in Charing Cross Hospital, London, after falling from a window of her London flat. Her blood-alcohol level was .28. The coroner returned a verdict of accidental death."

If you're referring to the alto range, then the really high male opera singers are called counter tenors. They are pretty rare voice types and there are not many operas with counter tenor roles. There are a few in baroque operas and then in some 20th century works of Benjamin Britten.

Well, you could be referring to either Alma Gluck (nee Reba Feinsohn), a soprano in the early 1900's, or you could be referring to Christoph Willibald Gluck, composer of Orfeo ed Euridice, among other operas. She sang at the Met and his operas have been performed at the Met.

Ballad opera

The lyrics of an opera are called the "libretto."

The heroine of Wagner's opera is Elsa von Brabant.

It's still just called a bass in English, though for Opera there are different types for different types of roles.

Basso Cantante - higher and more lyrical

Hoher Bass - high, dramatic; can also be a baritone

Jugendlicher Bass - wherein the role of a young man is sung by a bass of any age

Basso Buffo - blustery, comic relief bad guys, also called a spielbass

Basso Profundo (lyric or dramatic)- the deepest, lowest bass there is, lyric tends to be sweeter, dramatic is loud and powerful
