Eight arias from Georges Bizet’s opera, Carmen

By Leave a Comment

Carmen - illustration by Luc for Journal Amusant 1875Georges Bizet’s four act opera, Carmen, was first performed in Paris in 1875. Carmen, written in the opéra comique genre, was considered unconventional at its initial release. Bizet died after its 33rd performance, never realizing the international acclaim this widely-known opera would have.

Here are eight arias from Carmen, with perfect for voice type indications, links to the full IPA text, as well as recommended listening links.

Selected soprano arias by Gaetano Donizetti, hand-curated by Fach

By 6 Comments

Gaetano Donizetti (portrait by Giuseppe Rillosi)The Italian composer, Domenico Gaetano Maria Donizetti (Gaetano Donizetti), born November 29, 1797, was a leading composer of the bel canto opera style during the first half of the nineteenth century, along Gioachino Rossini and Vincenzo Bellini. It is thought that Donizetti’s close association with the bel canto style influenced other composers such as Giuseppe Verdi.

At the age of 9, Donizetti was granted a scholarship to the Lezioni Caritatevoli school in Bergamo. At age 20, his second opera, Zoraide de Granata, was so successful he obtained a discharge from the military in order to focus on his composing. Donizetti was established internationally at age 33 with his opera, Anna Bolena.

IPA Source has arias for 21 of Donizetti’s operas. Additionally, IPA Source has dozens of Donizetti art songs. In total, there are 121 Gaetano Donizetti texts on IPA Source.

Donizetti had a sad life – he lost his wife after 10 years of marriage and his three children to illness at early ages. While he never recovered from losing them, he was known to be a hard-working and fast-working man, who was helpful and supportive to his colleagues.
