The arias in this collection are taken from selected German operas of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. All close relatives of Mozart’s beloved Singspiels, they were among the most popular works for the stage of their time. This selection of eight arias for tenor includes a charming comic number and show-stopping centerpieces that highlight the soloist’s technical range. The edition supplies translations and brief synopses for all arias, bringing each work to life for today’s performers.
