Summary: THE most useful book I've purchased on the art of singing!!
Review: Singher gets right to the heart of operatic interpretation! His no-bones-about-it guide leads the singer through aria after aria like a personal coach and includes literal (more or less) translations of the lyrics -- most helpful indeed! Each aria includes background information about the scene and the opera that it comes from, followed by an almost line-by-line instruction that is absolutely right on the money! Each singer should always be encouraged to bring his or her own inspiration and interpretation of the music; Singher's book offers a wonderful and insightful "standard" guide for the performer without overpowering individuality. I couldn't recommend it more highly!!

Summary: Worth it!
Review: Singher has provided an excellent reference for students and teachers alike. While I'm not a proponent of cookie cutter interpretations, this book provides an excellent starting point for interpretive musicianship. A must have for any serious vocalist.
