There are many situations where musical theatre performers will need to be at least somewhat versed in standard classical vocal repertoire. For example, some actors will sing in operettas and operas throughout their careers (Gilbert & Sullivan, anyone?). Certain auditions for schools, artist programs, and legit-oriented musicals will also ask to hear classical pieces. For these reasons and others, I wanted to put together a general-purpose classical repertoire resource that will be useful to both performers and teachers.

Enter Spotify! I have crafted Spotify playlists featuring professional recordings of standard classical pieces. These playlists are grouped together into ‘packs’ based on voice type (i.e. ‘Soprano Pack’, ‘Mezzo-Soprano Pack’, etc.). Each pack features recordings of songs from the following popular classical songbooks/anthologies:

  1. Gilbert & Sullivan for Singers (Hal Leonard)
  2. Arias for _____ (G. Schirmer/Hal Leonard)
  3. Standard Vocal Literature (Hal Leonard)
  4. The First Book of Solos, Complete Parts I-III (G. Schirmer/Hal Leonard)
  5. Twenty-Four Italian Songs & Arias (G. Schirmer/Hal Leonard)

For example, the ‘Soprano Pack’ contains Spotify playlists with professional recordings of pieces from these songbooks:

  1. Gilbert & Sullivan for Singers – Soprano
  2. Arias for Sopranos
  3. Standard Vocal Literature – Soprano
  4. The First Book of Soprano Solos (Complete Parts I-III)
  5. Twenty-Four Italian Songs & Arias
