Summary of This Score
This collection brings together a rich and varied selection of opera arias from the greatest works of the repertoire. You will find many essentials by Giuseppe Verdi (Aida, Don Carlo, Ernani, La Forza del Destino, Otello, Simon Boccanegra, Il Trovatore), with major pieces such as "Oh patria mia", "Tu che le vanitĂ ", "Pace, pace Mio Dio", and "D'amor sull'ali rosee". The set thus offers an excellent working ground to approach the vocal line, projection, and dramatic contrasts characteristic of Verdian theater.
The collection then broadens the stylistic field with arias by Gluck (Alceste), Smetana (The Bartered Bride), and Puccini (La BohÚme, Manon Lescaut), offering very different vocal and expressive colors, from a more "noble" singing to the Italian lyricism of the late 19th century. The great classics of French opera are also present, notably Bizet (Carmen) and Massenet (Le Cid, Hérodiade, Manon), perfect for working on diction and elegance of line.
Mozart enthusiasts will appreciate several essential arias (CosÏ fan tutte, Don Giovanni, Le Nozze di Figaro, Die Zauberflöte), ideal for refining rhythmic precision, articulation, and musicality. The collection also offers remarkable pages from the Germanic and Romantic repertoire (Beethoven, J. Strauss, Wagner, C.M. von Weber), as well as excursions towards Tchaikovsky, Meyerbeer, Leoncavallo, and Monsigny. A selection designed to build a coherent program, explore several languages and styles, and gain artistic maturity through the pieces.
