AN EVENING AT THE OPERA
Choose an opera. Choose an aria, a duet, a chorus — or begin with the overture.
Try it, in your language. Apple Music preview
Samples are Apple’s own 30-second previews. Apple changes them from time to time; we re-time the words as soon as we notice. If a sample won’t play or the words drift, tell us and we’ll fix it.
Overtures play to a closed curtain, with what to listen for.
HOW IT WORKS
1 · Listen
Opera Moments plays a great recording of the opera, through Apple Music or from tracks you own.
2 · Understand
Each line appears in your language at the moment it is sung, timed by hand, line by line.
3 · Feel it
No libretto on your lap, no guessing which line is which. Just the music, and what it means.
