A Wagner opera, first performed in 1882. Extinction threatens the Brotherhood of Knights, who guard the Holy Grail, which is the chalice used at the Last Supper.

5. Escamillo, Don Jose?

Answer: Carmen

Bizet based his opera "Carmen" on a work by the French author Prosper Merimee. Bizet was something of a one-hit wonder in the world of classical music. All of his other works were failures, and even "Carmen" was not recognized for the masterpiece that it is until after Bizet's death.

Answer: Semiramide

A Rossini opera based on a play by Voltaire. Semiramide, the Queen of Babylon, has killed her husband King Nino with the help of Assur. This results in a power struggle over who will become the next king. Semiramide bypasses Assur for this role and chooses Arsace to be her new king and husband.

After it is revealed that Arsace is King Nino's son, Assur ends up murdering Semiramide and Arsace officially takes the throne.
