The definitive
reference for diction, pronunciation and translation
for all of the major operas authored by the world's
leading authority on opera diction. |
| Nico Castel has undertaken a stupendous
task with his Operatic Libretti Series — a work that should
have been done years ago ... How much time these publications
could have saved me when studying a new opera! How fortunate
are the present day students to be able to refer to these
books, constantly improving their understanding of the
complete work.
— Dame Joan Sutherland
