OperAria Tenor 1: lyric

The Three Tenors Are Coming

On the opera stage, the tenor is often the most eminent protagonist. Whether as ardent lover or tragic hero, he is in the limelight to show lyrical sensitivity, sonorous euphony and smoothness, a maximum of nuances. The vocal range creates high expectations and provides an extraordinary aura.

The three volumes for tenor represent the grand finale of the most comprehensive collection of repertoire for all vocal genres, with 16 volumes.

"Our goal is to give the user a modern-day, systematically structured vocal coach who satisfies the demands of present-day theater practice. At long last a consistent repertoire and a well-ordered conflation of respective audition arias for all vocal genres." (Peter Anton Ling, editors)
