This is a commonly used edition among members of the opera community. You really can't go wrong with it.

The book came quickly, in perfect condition and was exactly what I expected. Thank you for the true pictures.

I purchased this book "The Marriage of Figaro" for our son as a Christmas Gift. He is majoring in Music Education in college and is interested in Opera. He performed in this very Opera at his college this past Fall. He is very happy with this book - he intends to use this in his future music education career.

We knew what the score would contain, so no surprises there. Quick delivery and good value. Comfortable spiral binding. EaSY to use.

This is what was requested by my daughter's voice teacher and director of a young adult abridged version. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is my daughter said it would be really nice if it came with a ring binding to open flat for practicing.

This vocal score came quickly and in perfect condition, just as described. I would have no problem ordering from this seller again.

Our university Opera Theatre program will perform scenes from Le Nozze di Figaro in November using the Ruth and Thomas Martin vernacular. Although the text strays from the original meaning of Da Ponte's libretto, it is certainly a singable translation. This score is more than adequate for a performance and also suitable for opera listeners (maybe as a holiday gift hint hint).

I have the original cloth hardcovers, but these make great gifts for graduating voice students as they head out on their own to pursue their dreams.

I received the Ruth and Thomas Martin English translation edition of Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" in a timely manner. Both English and Italian are present. In case someone is unaware, some musical notes may seem to be extra when in fact they are necessary when singing in Italian. One of the greatest operas ever written!

As a big fan of G Schirmer opera scores I prehaps should not be allowed to be able to review this, but I will any way.

The english translation is not the best, but with it there you can get a little bit of a good idea on what you are saying, that is if you are singing the italian version.

I plan on using this in my concert comming up, and I just adore the arrangement of the "Deh Vieni, Non Tardar" is great. (I love the part of Susanna!) So enough said. If you are an opera company or an opera singer, or even an aspiring opera singer like myself, then you really need this book. Nuff' said.
