The Art of Auditioning

A Handbook for Singers, Accompanists and Coaches

Edition Peters, the world’s leading publisher of vocal music for more than 200 years, has joined forces with Anthony Legge to produce this revised and updated edition of the best-selling guide – The Art of Auditioning. Essential reading for every aspiring and professional singer, it contains:

• authoritative advice on how to approach and prepare for your auditions
• a directory of more than two hundred recommended audition arias
• information about what to expect after your first successful audition and how to prepare for professional engagements

Having won many competitions and survived many auditions – and now singing all over the world, including 250 performances of the role of Violetta, and having had the thrill of singing with Placido Domingo – I can recommend this book as an invaluable guide for achieving success. Ermonela Jaho, International Soprano

This invaluable and much needed guide to the process of auditioning includes a comprehensive list of suitable arias with helpful comments on how they should be performed. Singers and pianists alike will benefit greatly from it. Dame Anne Evans

He spends much time on audition and competition panels. His experience as a conductor, accompanist and vocal coach has given him a broad overview of the profession
