OPERA ITALIAN-AN INTRODUCTION TO ITALIAN THROUGH OPERA BK/CD
Detailed Description
Opera has always been the "musical voice" of Italians, expressing their feelings and thoughts, from the trivial to the sublime, from the carnal to the spiritual, from the witty to the most somber, from the jocular to the profound. But operatic language is often difficult to follow. [...] We have written this book to help opera buffs "crack the code" of Italian operatic language, as they enjoy themselves by listening to, or actually singing, excerpts from the standard repertoire. Softcover, 6-1/2"x9", 244 pages. CD/Book.
