I'm guessing you're thinking of Turandot - that's the only Puccini's opera I can think of that reqires singing while there's the orchestra is playing loudly (and that's what you mentioned in the opening statement of the question).
But I'm not sure that's all Puccini (after all he never finished Turandot).

You are correct, even though he did not finish the Opera. However, he finished the majority of it and only the last two scenes were written by Franco Alfano.

Question 2:
Taxonomy is the science of classifying organsisms based on certain characteristics. Taxonomy is divided into many different catergories (Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species) Originally, scientist Haekel proposed that in the largest group at the time (Kingdom) there should be 3 catergories: Protists, Plants, and Animals. Over time this has evolved and scientists realized the organsims are more diverse than originally thought and came up with 5 kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalea. This 5 kingdom classification was standard for many years.
However, now many scientists believe even more kingdoms are required. Recently a system of classification was proposed consisting of 11 different kingdoms.
Name the 11 kingdoms!
