Jonathan Miller's Opera Works - The Aria

"With infectious enthusiasm, humour and no-nonsense insight, Jonathan Miller brings opera to life for nine young singers from the Royal Northern College of Music. Taking various famous scenes from scratch, he rehearses them in different aspects of opera: the ensemble, the duet, the chorus, the aria, the recitative and the death scene. There are no sets, no costumes, no orchestras and no rules. Just glorious music, dramatic analysis and a compelling understanding of each situation."--Alexander Street, resource website.
