Edition Breitkopf Operaria Baryton 3

Summary of This Book

OperAria has been designed as an ideal "vocal coach" for all voice types. Edited by Peter Anton Ling, this work is aimed both at students and singers preparing for auditions, while offering a sufficiently inspiring selection to support the construction of an opera recital. The goal is clear: to provide current, coherent, and systematically organized content, in line with today's stage practice.

The core of the book is based on an anthology of opera arias structured according to precise vocal criteria: range, tessitura, technical specificities, and aria type. Each selection also takes into account essential musical and theatrical elements (style, era, role type, national origin), to help the singer choose a relevant aria, both for their voice and artistic profile.

For each aria, OperAria provides commentary and useful information: details about the composer, librettist, and work, register specifics, possible versions or casting considerations, as well as a brief synopsis clarifying the dramatic situation within the plot. All of this is complemented by a practical evaluation, "from the singer's perspective," and by a CD including a phonetic assistant: the original language texts are spoken by native speakers (mp3 audio), with German and English translations available in pdf files.
