Vocal Score-Full Vocal score of Giuseppe Verdi's successful and resoundingly popular opera Aida. With Italian and English lyrics and synopsis in Italian English French and German. Commissioned by the khedive of Egypt to celebrate the opening of the Suez Canal Aida was first performed at the Cairo Opera Theatre on the 24th of December 1871. The following year it received its Italian premiere at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Verdi set the narrative with a variety of theatrical and musical solutions that effectively illustrate the love story in all its intricate excess resulting in unavoidable tragedy when the volatile and entangled dimensionof personal passions clashes with the power of patriotic conscience.

Vocal Score-This is the Complete Vocal score of the entire opera with singing text in Italian and English. A beautiful imaginative opera and it is one of Verdi’s most famous works and most successful opera. The premiere occurred on 19 January 1853 at the Teatro Apollo in Rome and was an enormous success. The appreciation of the new work increased with each performance. The third performance was the last that Verdi was contractually obliged to attend: at the end of that evening the audience presented Verdi with two laurel wreaths.

Vocal Score / Softcover-In a letter of 2 January 1851 Verdi suggested for the first time Antonio Garcia Gutierrez play El Trovador as a possible subject for his new Opera: 'It seems to me very beautiful imaginative and full of strong situations'. Once he had settled on the subject the composer immediately began looking for a theater in which to produce the Opera and after protracted negotiations he decided to stage Il Trovatore in Rome. The premiere occurred on 19 January 1853 at the Teatro Apollo and was an enormous success. The appreciation of the new work increased from performance to performance. The third performance was the last the composer was contractuallyobliged to attend: at the end of the evening the audience presented Verdi with two laurel wreaths. Verdi's account of the performances contained in a letter to his friend Clarina Maffei was eloquent: 'They say that this Opera is too sad and that there are too many deaths. But ultimetley in life everything is death! What exists?...' Notwithstanding Verdi's pessimism Il Trovatore circulated rapidly. In fact no other Opera of Verdi except 'Ernani' enjoyed such instant and widespread success.

Soft Cover ed 1960-Verdi's tenth Opera Macbeth had its premiere at the Teatro alla Pergola in Florence on 14 March 1847. That the composer himself had a high opinion of the work is confirmed both by his correspondence and by his dedication of the vocal score to his father-in-law Antonio Barezzi.Seventeen years later long after Macbeth had firmly established itself in the repertoiry of Italian and foreign theatres Verdi agreed to revise the Opera for its first Paris production at the Theatre-Lyrique on 21 April 1865. The revisions were far more extensive than he had initially anticipated but the self-criticism he brought to the processindicated his continuing belief in the viability of the Opera. The Paris premiere of the revised version was not a success and even after the publication of a vocal score of the 1865 Opera many Italian theatres continued to perform the original version. Nevertheless since Verdi considered the revisions definitive Ricordi chose to market the 1865 version which has thereafter always remained in the catalogue.
