I don't know how much knowledge you guys have, but you seem to be pretty smart,
but i'll start fairly easy

Question 1 : What was Beethoven's only opera?

Enjoy

Excellent first question...very classy. I believe it was Fidelio.

I think I'll stick with the opera questions and ask, what was the name of Giacomo Puccini's unfinished opera which was later finished by one of his collegues and still performed today?

p.s. I'll bet many of you out there would never have guessed I'm a lover of opera. I personally find it absolutley beautiful...except the ones done in English (Blech!). Now as for Ballet; that stuff is terrible.

Turandot. Very easy, even for an opera-hater like me.

Now, to move on to real music...

What was the first major national hit of Ska group The Wailers, which included the young Bob Marley?

 

[jc011]

I had to look this one up, and i'm still not sure.

is it "Simmer Down"?

 

[Snapcase]

It is indeed Simmer Down. I'm not sure if looking stuff up should be considered cheating, but it's your game, I suppose...
