Ultimate Opera Quiz for Connoisseurs Part 1

The ultimate Operatic Quiz, for connoisseurs only - Part 1.
The clips are very generous in length, and the singers are *all* very famous - no Achille Braschi or Tenghiz Zaashvili here. All world class superstars (merited or not). Mostly tenors, but with a few other voices thrown in for fun. If you *really* know your operatic voices, please post you answers here, not by PM. Good luck - you need it! :D

Many thanks to F.N.

Your fondness for the turn of phrase is renowned, but those are not quizzes!

Those are TORTURE.

Those, Imo, are sin.

No 8 on Quizz 5 is that Swedish tenor, Juicy Buffalo Wing, and that's the only one I know...on both quizzes.

[Imogenn]

Post it on *that* quiz then, not this one :D
