from G. Schirmer, Inc.
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
This was my first book given to me as a voice student when I was 11 years old. I have since 26 years later both sung and taught out of this book regularly. I can't imagine my music library without it. These are great classical songs for any novice and continue to be a great reference as warm up... more info

3.The Pearl: A True Tale of Forbidden Love in Catherine the Great s RussiaThe Pearl: A True Tale of Forbidden Love in Catherine the Great's Russia
from Yale University Press
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
Douglas Smith has written a fascinating book. The Pearl tells the tale of Nicholas Sheremetev, Russia's richest noble, who secretly marries Praskovia Ivanovna, his serf and the star of his "serf theater". The book reads like a novel with characters straight out of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, but bears... more info

4.A Soprano on Her Head: Right-Side-Up Reflections on Life and Other PerformancesA Soprano on Her Head: Right-Side-Up Reflections on Life and Other Performances
from Real People Press
Price: $11.22

Customer Review:
The book starts out really interesting with helpful ideas and tips for all performers, but soon becomes a self proclaiming space for Ristad. It has some redeeming qualities, but I wouldn't buy it.

5.Il Divo: Our Music, Our Journey, Our WordsIl Divo: Our Music, Our Journey, Our Words
from Headline Book Publishing
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
First, anything Il Divo is and excellent investment. Second, it is written by the group members themselves which makes the book an accurate telling of their lives rather than an edited second hand version. The pictures are great as well.

6.100 Great Operas And Their Stories: Act-By-Act Synopses100 Great Operas And Their Stories: Act-By-Act Synopses
from Anchor
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
Opera deserves a place of honor in any literary collection. It's a proud individual who can say that they know the plot of Lakme or Tales of Hoffman. Even if you haven't seen an opera, get this book, and no one will be the wiser!

As you see in many of the other reviews, this is a great guide that will introduce you to opera without overwhelming you.

9.The Inner Voice: The Making of a SingerThe Inner Voice: The Making of a Singer
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
A book about a world-class opera singer will be read mainly by two categories of people: singers and opera lovers. To strike a balance that will please both of the interested parties is tricky. Too much technical stuff and you alienate the second camp. Not enough technical stuff and you disappoint... more info

10.Wagner s Ring of the NibelungWagner's Ring of the Nibelung
from Thames & Hudson
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
I studied "The Nibelungenlied" in college and was so mesmerized by the story that I had a linden leaf tattooed on my back. Since then, I have read Nordic sagas of the Siegfried legend. This was my first read of Wagner's comprehensive version. It was, quite simply, outstanding.
Wagner draws from... more info
