Hi! There are great new features on ClassicsOnline, and we encourage everyone to check them out. But this week's theme since to be going towards an Operatic direction, and here's stuff that you might want to check out.


* For those studying voice, the label Cantolopera offers recordings with the voice removed for studying and practicing. The full versions are included as well to serve as an example and guide. Others may argue that a proper rehearsal (with at least an accompanying piano) is always best, but really, you should give these high-quality recordings a try. Store them in your iPod for easy pick-up rehearsals, or simply enjoy the experience of a performance with a great orchestra right at your own home.


* Despite the Winter Olympics coming to a close, Canadian fever isn't over yet. We're offering Opera in Canada from ATMA Classique. This banquet of songs includes the most celebrated arias, duos, trios, and quartets from beloved operas such as Bizet's Carmen, Massenet's Manon, Verdi's Rigoletto, and Puccini's La Bohème. Performed by some of Canada's most celebrated singers. For a limited time, kindly take 20% off this recording and other releases here.


* Naxos proudly presents Opera Part I -- specially chosen packages of Operas highlighting the development from the Baroque to the 21st century.
