Summary of This Score
With Dare... Opera, Anne Aubert delivers the third volume of the "Dare..." series, designed to bring great opera choruses into the life of vocal ensembles. The guiding idea is clear: to offer famous, immediately recognizable pages while remaining adapted to the reality of choirs with variable membership. The result is a collection that combines the joy of singing, musical effectiveness, and discovery of the operatic repertoire.
The selection covers a broad panorama, from Mozart to Britten, with a strong Romantic focus (Bizet, Puccini, Thomas, Verdi, Wagner), offering contrasting atmospheres: popular and theatrical scenes, contemplative moments, iconic grand choruses. This diversity makes the score an excellent tool for working on expression, ensemble listening, and character changes, while keeping vocal parts clear.
The piano accompaniment is not a mere addition: it allows the full harmonic richness associated with opera to be restored, supports intonation, and enhances rehearsal comfort. It accompanies the voices without weighing down the writing, making the collection relevant both for choral workshop work and for preparing auditions, thematic "opera" concerts, or more eclectic programming.
Included are excerpts from The Magic Flute, Carmen, Madame Butterfly, Mignon, Nabucco, Tannhäuser, L'enfant et les sortilèges, and Glorian: a concentrated selection of great choruses, designed to make "opera for all" singable with a three-part mixed choir and piano.
