Vol. 1: Lyric. OperAria is the ideal 'vocal coach' for all voice types. Edited by Peter Anton Ling, the books address all singers and are conceived above all for training and auditions. In addition, through their careful selection, they offer valuable inspiration for opera recitals. OperAria offers in every book - a well-founded repertoire collection of common audition arias and rarities, which also include pieces from the 20th century - reliable aria texts in performable versions with revised or newly elaborated piano-vocal scores - meticulous comments on every aria (with contents and an evaluation from the singer's viewpoint) - a CD as 'Text and Phonetics Assistant' with the aria texts as audio file in their original language as well as the aria texts in German and English translation The three books for baritone '1:lyrical,' '2: lyrical-dramatic' and '3: dramatic' are placed at the beginning of the project. Altogether 16 volumes are planned- the first books for soprano are currently being prepared for 2016. 'It is my aim to give students a modern, systematically structured, well-informed vocal coach that meets the demands of present-day stage practice. And, of course, a cohesive repertoire and logical presentation of audition arias for every vocal genre.' (Peter Anton Ling)/ Recueil / Baryton
