Handel's 'Agrippina? HWV 6 was performed with great success at the 2015 International Handel Festival in Göttingen (Germany) using the new Bärenreiter edition including the performance material and this vocal score.'Agrippina? is the last opera that Handel completed and premiered in Italy. The excellent libretto is one of the few original opera libretti that he set to music. The plot is tightly constructed, the characters sharply etched and equipped with a wide range of human emotions.Agrippina is married to her third husband, the Roman emperor Claudius. After he is presumed dead, she attempts with deception and intrigue to place her son Nero on the throne.The vocal score includes all the numbers from the appendix of the full score. These were used either during the successful Venetian series of performances in 1709/10 or were deleted or replaced by other numbers, versions and variants.- Urtext edition based on the 'Halle Handel Edition?- Includes a singing translation in German- Extensive bilingual Foreword (Ger/Eng) - Idiomatic uncluttered piano reduction / Chant Et Piano

This short opera (duration of 50 minutes) aptly designed for children to perform with modest resources is a version of the familiar tale though with certain adaptations. Cinderella is an au pair girl who arrives on the scene bytrain and there are three ugly sisters who get their just deserts in marriage to the appalling leaders of the armed forces. Writing for children in the Orkney Islands Davies has also included some local references: these can bechanged to suit other times and places. Musically the piece is a bright sequence of little songs choruses dialogue scenes and dances probably best suited to children between the ages of eight and twelve though the parts of theugly sisters can usefully be taken by boys with broken voices.Text only.Duration c. 50mins.

Vol. 1: Lyric. OperAria is the ideal 'vocal coach' for all voice types. Edited by Peter Anton Ling, the books address all singers and are conceived above all for training and auditions. In addition, through their careful selection, they offer valuable inspiration for opera recitals. OperAria offers in every book - a well-founded repertoire collection of common audition arias and rarities, which also include pieces from the 20th century - reliable aria texts in performable versions with revised or newly elaborated piano-vocal scores - meticulous comments on every aria (with contents and an evaluation from the singer's viewpoint) - a CD as 'Text and Phonetics Assistant' with the aria texts as audio file in their original language as well as the aria texts in German and English translation The three books for baritone '1:lyrical,' '2: lyrical-dramatic' and '3: dramatic' are placed at the beginning of the project. Altogether 16 volumes are planned- the first books for soprano are currently being prepared for 2016. 'It is my aim to give students a modern, systematically structured, well-informed vocal coach that meets the demands of present-day stage practice. And, of course, a cohesive repertoire and logical presentation of audition arias for every vocal genre.' (Peter Anton Ling)/ Recueil / Baryton

Giacomo Puccini furthered his reputation as one of the leading figures in Italian opera when he composed one of the world's most popular operas 'Madame Butterfly' to a libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa based on thebook by John L. Long and the drama by David Belasco. The inspiration for the plot came from an American play by David Belasco which captured the composer's immediate interest when he saw it in London. Based on the heartbreak ofMadama Butterfly a 15-year-old Japanese girl who abandons her people and her religion in a marriage to Pinkerton a United States Naval Lieutenant and in a conversion to Christianity the work undoubtedly had greater meaning toits American audiences following the occupation of U.S. troops in Asia during the mid- and late-twentieth century. The story of 'Madame Butterfly' also recently inspired Boubill and Schonberg's musical 'Miss Saigon'. Thisis the Schirmer edition of the Libretto in the origina Italian with an English translation by John Gutman.

Ophelias - Death By Water Singing (2006-2007) - Chamber Opera in 13 Scenes. Libretto by Cecilie Løveid. Commissioned by Opera Vest (Den Nye Opera) Bergen. Piano reduction available: WH31030 Parts are available on hire: hire@ewh.dk Programme Note: The Danish chronicler Saxo's Amled myth lies behind the famous Hamlet by Shakespeare the story about a hero avenging the murder of his father the king. Saxo depicts Amled as mad - but is Shakespeare's Hamlet mad or is he playing a role? To test Hamlet a 'date' is arranged with Ophelia. Hellstenius has chosen to viewthings from her perspective and the opera begins at the moment when she drowns herself in the stream. We look back at her experiences - falling in love with the unstable Prince Hamlet; her anticipation of becoming a queen; their rendezvous in the forest her ensuing pregnancy and his betrayal.
