These groundbreaking anthologies of arias for each voice type collect arias and role excerpts from operas of the 20th and 21st centuries. Composers include John Adams, Benjamin Britten, Carlisle Floyd, Richard Strauss, Leonard Bernstein, Dominick Argento, and many others. Since many composers of this and the previous century did not structure their operas with conventional arias, these collections include role excerpts that have never been published outside the complete vocal score of an opera, providing valuable audition, recital, and educational repertoire selections. Each volume includes extensive plot notes and translations for each aria as well as a unique table of contents.
