4.0 out of 5 stars
What every opera singer needs!
It's not what I thought I would be getting, but it is certainly something I really needed to have. This Libretto has all the words and the translations that you need to understand what it is that you are singing. Now I can relate more to the story.

If you don't speak French, forget this one...
I ordered this libretto with the purchase of possibly the very best recording of Carmen (Sir Thomas Beecham - Victoria de los Angeles) so that I could follow along with the Opera. As I speak fluent French, I initially didn't even glance at the "translation" in the libretto, but once I did, I couldn't help but notice that there were translation errors on...

This review is from: Carmen (Opera Journeys Libretto Series) (Paperback)
I ordered this libretto with the purchase of possibly the very best recording of Carmen (Sir Thomas Beecham - Victoria de los Angeles) so that I could follow along with the Opera. As I speak fluent French, I initially didn't even glance at the "translation" in the libretto, but once I did, I couldn't help but notice that there were translation errors on virtually every page. I then started to focus on what was "translated" and found that there were additions made to what was actually being sung, omissions to what was being sung and variations of what was being sung. The translation was apparently done by someone who took French 20 years ago in college. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

This review is from: Bizet's Carmen / Opera Journeys Libretto Series (French Edition) (Kindle Edition)
It doesn't contain wat it claims ! They say It is a full guide, including libretto,discography, videography, opera descriptions, sinopsys, comments, etc. THE reality is that it Is only a libretto! Nothing else, and when you realize it and try to return the product you find that it's impossible. Bad experience ,
