Summary of This Score
This collection brings together several major arias from the lyrical repertoire, particularly appreciated for their musical effectiveness and stage impact. It features emblematic pages from French and Italian opera, perfect for building a coherent program, varying atmospheres, and refining interpretation: phrasing, breathing, articulation, dynamics, and dramatic intention.
The selection notably offers the nostalgic poetry of Mignon, then the incandescent world of Carmen with two essential arias, before diving into the broad and sensual vocal line of Dalila. The journey continues with the dramatic tension of Cavalleria rusticana and concludes with an intense page from Adriana Lecouvreur, ideal for working on color, legato, and presence.
