Summary of This Book
?Una voce poco profonda?: Curtain up for Trouser Roles and Heroines is part of the OperAria collection, an anthology of opera repertoire structured to meet the concrete needs of singers seeking effective, relevant, and immediately usable arias. Whether your voice is rather light lyric or more robust, whether you master coloratura or seek a more dramatic expressive field, this volume emphasizes lower voices and that "special talent" which ensures the success of a trouser role as well as a great heroine.
The OperAria principle is based on a simple and extremely practical idea: to offer a coherent selection of audition arias, systematically organized, to support you as a modern vocal coach would. The content is designed to limit uncertainty when preparing an audition: saving time, refining your program strategy, and allowing you to focus on what matters most (vocal line, style, diction, intention, and stage presence).
Edited by Peter Anton Ling and Marina Sandel, this collection highlights a classification according to vocal criteria (ambitus, tessitura, particularities, aria type) while maintaining constant attention to the realities of lyric theater: suitability to style, era, character type, and the aesthetic expected in production. The result: a reliable working tool to build a solid audition repertoire and to enter rehearsals with musical material already "stage-ready" in mind.
