Fifteen years since the publication of its first volume, this invaluable guide to some of the most challenging aria excerpts continues with Volume II.

Featuring an entirely new selection of arias, Guide to the Aria Repertoire, Volume II brings together many sources to aid the singer on their journey toward powerful, informed performances. Volume I of this guide has proven a tried-and-true resource for the developing operatic singer, with a wealth of insightful commentary from world-famous singers, directors, and other professionals as well as comments on interpreting arias and roles. Volume II follows in this tradition, discussing additional works and including some contemporary and lesser-known works beyond the standard selection. The arias in this guide are organized by voice type, and represent canonical, contemporary, and obscure works from different languages. Each reference listing addresses level of difficulty, voice and character type, special techniques, tessitura, accompaniment, and more.

Guide to the Aria Repertoire, Volume II will be invaluable to the performer, student, and teacher of operatic repertoire throughout their developing careers.
