lyric coloratura. The OperAria repertoire collection for all voice genres that was successfully launched last year has produced lyrical soprano progeny: From Adele to Zerbinetta, from Pamina to Mimi and Ellen Orford - the first two (of altogether four) soprano volumes contain a representative sampling of important arias from the multifaceted lyrical repertoire. Classical audition arias can be found there, just as vocal gems from opera rarities and arias of classical modernity, each one obviously reliably and carefully edited. Accessorizing one's own lyrical voice, the singer will find a wealth of material such as: information on the composer, the librettist, the work, the vocal range, on questions concerning versions and scoring as well as on the storyline, along with instructive tips from a singer's viewpoint provided by experienced voice teachers and a Phonetics Text Assistant on CD-ROM with diverse possibilities of use. 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. / Date parution : 2019-09-06/ Recueil / Soprano Colorature
