A Panorama of Arias 1

A Panorama of Arias contains a selection of arias from operas, operettas, and oratorical works of the 17th to 19th centuries in original language for those studying singing at beginner and intermediate levels. All arias have new, easy-to-play piano reductions, and some of them even include excerpts from recitatives. The sheet music comes with:

- professional audio recordings of the piano accompaniments and the orchestral accompaniments on authentic instruments

- audio recordings of native speakers reading the words of the arias

- literal translations of the words in English and Hungarian

- information on the works

A Panorama of Arias consists of four books:
