Asking Google About Opera

Asking Google About Opera

Jenna Simeonov

I saw this image from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra floating around the Internet, showing us all what the Googling public asks about the different orchestral instruments. I thought it was funny enough, so I compiled some of the broader Google searches related to the opera singers and their voice types.

General observations: lots of questions about opera singers and their stereotypical weight, mention of HBO's The Sopranos, and a fair amount of healthy competition between vocal fachs. I hope the mezzos out their find their minimal Google presence as hilarious as I did (no news is good news, ladies!). I also like "why are basses cheaper than guitars".
