Title: Everything one could ask for
Review: Cantopolera's Puccini Arias for Soprano is an excellent book which provides everything you need, aspiring opera singer to amateur. The book includes a CD with all nine songs, first with someone singing, then with the full accomapaniments. The book has the written music for each song, a section where the lyrics are fully translated, and a short summary of each opera.And for anyone who was perturbed that there was no listing of the arias anywhere:1. O mio babbino caro (Gianni Schicchi)2. Un bel di vedremo (Madama Butterfly)3. Quando men vo (La Boheme)4. Mi Chiamano Mimi (La Boheme)5. In quelle trine morbide (Manon Lescaut)6. Tu che di gel sei cinta (Turandot)7. Vissi d'arte (Tosca)8. In questa reggia (Turandot)9. Senza Mamma (Suor Angelica)Also, on an unrelated note, for anyone who always hated photocopying music out of oversized books, these books are 8 1/2 x 11, as well as are thin enough to lay perfectly flat.Hope everyone enjoys this book as much as I do!
