This landmark series collects compelling, useful, singer-friendly arias from a distinctly American opera
tradition. Each volume includes information about every opera and an aria plot note. A majority of the music in the four volumes
has never before been available outside of the opera vocal scores, and some arias in the series have never been in print at
all before now. Most arias are appropriate for college-level singers. Composers such as Samuel Barber, William Bolcom, Douglas
Moore, Virgil Thomson and Gian Carlo Menotti are well represented. Additionally, arias are included from important works such
as Regina, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Ghosts of Versailles, The Great Gatsby, Little Women and many others. Stephen Sondheim
graciously agreed to adapt new aria editions of two pieces from Sweeney Todd for the series: The Contest in the Tenor volume
and Epiphany in the Baritone/Bass edition.
