Behind the Scenes of the Theater. A Collection of Hits from Operas and Ballets

"The Duke's Serenade" - the famous song of the duke from the opera "Rigoletto" by Giuseppe Verdi. It is known that the author kept this melody hidden until the last moment, knowing that in a moment the whole of Italy... would be singing it. This is one of the many examples when pieces from operas, ballets, and operettas became real hits, and their performers became idols. In this collection, we have gathered for you the most famous excerpts from musical-theatrical works. These are melodies that occasionally arise in our memory, and we involuntarily begin to hum them. The arrangements for piano will allow anyone, even beginner musicians, to perform them for family and friends, creating the atmosphere of a musical evening in the theater.
