Opera in tre atti During Handel's lifetime Giulio Cesare in Egitto was among his most successful operas. Today it is still one of the most frequently performed, owing to the rich variety of its scenes and its remarkably inventive arias and ensembles, which embellish the underlying affects with virtuoso aplomb. The piano writing contains the musical numbers from the main version and observes the editorial decisions in Zschoch's volume, thereby making it possible to prepare authentic performances of what is perhaps Handel's most popular opera. Vocal score of the main version, based on the Urtext from the “Halle Handel Edition Clear, easy-to-play piano reduction Italian text underlaid with newly revised singable German translation German/English preface with information on performance history and editorial principles

Vocal Score / Softcover. Par VERDI GIUSEPPE. In a letter of 2 January 1851, Verdi suggested for the first time Antonio Garcia Gutierrez play El Trovador as a possible subject for his new Opera: 'It seems to me very beautiful, imaginative, and full of strong situations'. Once he had settled on the subject, the composer immediately began looking for a theater in which to produce the Opera and after protracted negotiations he decided to stage Il Trovatore in Rome. The premiere occurred on 19 January 1853 at the Teatro Apollo and was an enormous success. The appreciation of the new work increased from performance to performance. The third performance was the last the composer was contractuallyobliged to attend: at the end of the evening the audience presented Verdi with two laurel wreaths. Verdi 's account of the performances, contained in a letter to his friend Clarina Maffei, was eloquent: 'They say that this Opera is too sad and that there are too many deaths. But ultimetley in life everything is death! What exists?. . . ' Notwithstanding Verdi 's pessimism, Il Trovatore circulated rapidly. In fact, no other Opera of Verdi except 'Ernani' enjoyed such instant and widespread success./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Zack's Zoo is due to open, but he refuses to open the gates to the public until all the animals have passed their Standard Animal Tests. The animals, meanwhile, are behaving in far from 'standard' ways - and some of them are downright wacky! Joe Public and his friends are tired of waiting for the zoo to open, so they stage a protest. Zack decides to let the 'Publics' in to prove the animals aren't ready to be seen. Most of the animals fail their 'SATs' but Joe and his friends love their quirkiness and think this is the best zoo ever! Joe suggests renaming it 'The Zany Zoo' so that people will know what to expect. Once Zack sees his creatures in a new light, he stops trying to standardise them. He even apologises for not appreciating their individuality, and declares: 'The Zany Zoo is opening right now!' Witty and colourful, The Zany Zoo is the perfect end of year show as it offers such an array of unforgettable cameo parts for a large cast./ Recueil / Chant et Piano
