Boxed set of six books with CDs; 2005
$99.75
 Members' Price: $84.79
Immerse yourself in six of the world's most popular operas—La Traviata, Aida, Madama Butterfly, Carmen, The Marriage of Figaro, and La Bohème—with this attractive boxed set. The illustrated hardcover books each include a biography of the composer, a plot breakdown of the opera by act, and the full libretto, in both its original language and the English translation. Each book comes with two full-length audio CDs containing the complete opera (not just highlights). The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestra e Coro del Teatro dell'Opera di Roma are two of the orchestras heard here; the casts of performers include Beverly Sills, Grace Bumbry, Carlo Bergonzi, Franco Corelli, and other renowned singers. It's a wonderful gift—at an exceptional value—for both the veteran opera fan and anyone seeking to begin building an operatic collection.
