Summary of This Score
This collection brings together a selection of some of the most striking opera arias from the repertoire, designed to support interpretation work and vocal technique. It features dramatic and virtuosic pieces, alternating grand lyrical outbursts, character scenes, and moments of introspection, offering a wide palette of expressions and colors to explore.
The program covers essential Italian works with Verdi (including "O don fatale," "Stride la vampa," and the invocation from Un Ballo in Maschera ) and Rossini (from "Una voce poco fa" to "Non più mesta," not forgetting Semiramide ). French opera is represented by Bizet (the three major excerpts from Carmen ), Gounod, Massenet, Saint-Saëns, Meyerbeer, and Thomas, providing an ideal ground for working on diction, style, and phrasing.
The collection also opens up to other traditions: Mozart (arias from La Clemenza di Tito and Le Nozze di Figaro ), Handel (famous arias from Rinaldo and Serse ), Purcell with Dido's lament, as well as a more dramatic side with Wagner (excerpts from Die Götterdämmerung, Lohengrin, Rienzi, and Die Walküre ). Mussorgsky and Tchaikovsky complete the set with expressive pieces, ideal for deepening musical storytelling and text projection.
