Operas and Arias
Arias that can be performed with piano accompaniment are found in two main places:
- M1507 - Compilations of various types of vocal music, including both art songs and arias, and possibly also musical theatre or popular music. Use the catalog or ask a librarian to identify collections that have the individual work you are looking for.
- M1503 - Vocal scores of operas. These are usually for the whole opera, and by definition, your aria will be included.
