Product Notes
In the irreverent tradition of their Idiot's Guide to Classical Music, RCA has put out a CD that not only contains 101 of the best-known melodies and arias from the opera canon, but also doubles as a CD-ROM reference guide! No longer will you confuse Wagner with Verdi, La Traviata with Il Trovatore or Callas with Carreras (okay, it's pretty hard to confuse those two). Anyway, before you know it you'll be belting out arias in the shower-"Figaro Figaro Fiiigaroo!"
