An excellent volume of coloratura arias has been added to the G. Schirmer Opera Anthology series. With 30 arias in English, Italian, German, French and Russian, this is the largest collection of coloratura operatic excerpts ever published. Because of the nature of the material, tradition-based performance suggestions are liberally found throughout the volume. For instance, you will find standard vocal variations for the Doll Song from The Tales of Hoffmann included in the edition, along with the original vocal line. Like the other volumes in the ground-breaking series, there are historical and plot notes about each aria, new engravings, and new translations for study.

  • October 09, 2005 undergrads CAN make use of this too..

    A nice mix of the big hits (lucia's mad scene) and some more obscure numbers (plus de depis, plus de tristesse from les deux avares) admittedly some of the songs are quite big but some are good starter pieces for a talented coloratura. This book can grow with the...

  • September 23, 2003 Not for the Faint of Heart

    This is a fine collection of coloratura opera arias. I picked it up in the library one day and said "Whoa!" It's pretty heavy stuff. From Bellini to "Abduction" to Zerbetina's aria in "Ariadne"(!), the soprano who picks this up MUST be on top of their game. Definetly...

    not for the undergrads!
