Features: Singers often struggle to find sheet music, as there are many collections of opera arias from abroad. Some focus on Italian works, while others emphasize French, German, Austrian, and Russian works. Even if you purchase two or three versions, you may not find the aria you need. Our long-standing dream has been to compile a collection of arias tailored to our needs by gathering the most commonly used pieces from various versions. Thanks to the strong support and assistance from the Hong Kong Mei Xin Art Association and Shanghai Music Publishing House, this dream has finally come true. This collection is based on the manuscript of "Selected Arias from Western Classical Opera (for Tenors)" translated by Zhou Feng in 1956. According to the actual needs of vocal teaching, performances, competitions, composition, and appreciation in recent years, some adjustments have been made to the repertoire to enhance its practicality. The Chinese lyrics are directly translated from the original Italian, French, German, and Russian texts, with careful consideration to ensure they accurately convey the original meaning while remaining easy to sing.
