Three of the most memorable operatic vocal arias are presented here for young strings. The arias are set in comfortable keys and remain in first position. Performable as separate movements, or as a small suite, your audiences will appreciate hearing these familiar tunes from the world of Italian Grand Opera. Features "La Donna Mobile" from Rigoletto, "Quando me'n vo (Musetta's Waltz)" from La Boheme, and "Libiamo ne'lieti calici" from La Traviata.

Students will be additionally challenged as they work to follow the conductor's rubato interpretations that characterize the style of Musetta's Waltz, and strive to create a wide range of dynamics that are required for the dance-like rollicking flow of the other two waltzes.
