What's your opera lockdown personality?
Whether you're an expert at isolation or are finding new ways to be social, there's an opera character to suit your mood...
Carmen
You pass the time by chain-smoking and sending astrology memes in the group chat with your bffs Frasquita and Mercédès. You’re familiar with all the rules around intimate partner visits, but you have to admit that you’ve changed intimate partners halfway through lockdown. Your original intimate partner is not happy.
Violetta
Your neighbours are a bit sick of hearing music pumping from your apartment in the early hours, and they’re convinced you’re hosting all-night ragers. You’ve put those days behind you and are obviously following the rules, but there’s no rule against partying solo. Thank god for Jimmy Brings.
Rodolfo
Lockdown suits you. You’re pretty happy at home working away on your laptop, although you do wish you lived in slightly more glamorous digs, and you are missing the chaotic energy of your local café. You’ve got a serious flirtation going on with somebody who lives in your apartment building, although you haven’t seen each other’s faces yet. But those furtive glances over the top of your mask are getting more intense…
Turandot
You’ve been self-isolating for years and are an expert at social distancing. You don’t let anybody close to you. The consequences of trying are severe…
Cavaradossi
Some people have taken up craft in lockdown, but you’ve really taken it to the next level with your spectacular painting. Now if only the cops would stop checking up that you don’t have any unauthorised visitors in your home — political prisoners or otherwise.
Figaro
You’re keeping all your friends entertained with your weekly virtual trivia. You’re also dropping off care packages to neighbours. You can’t help yourself, you’re a social creature, which is why you’re always dressing up for your whole street’s delight when you take out the bins.
Queen of the Night
Your daughter can’t wait for lockdown to be over because, let’s face it, home-schooling with you is a bit of a nightmare.
