Store Description

I offer a carefully selected collection of opera, classical music and vocal literature, including vocal scores, sheet music, opera books, song collections and related musical publications. Much of my stock comes from a long-standing private collection built up by a dedicated opera enthusiast over many years. The collection includes publications from well-known music publishers such as Ricordi, Boosey & Hawkes, Schirmer, Novello, Peters and others, covering a wide range of composers, operas, singers and voice types. My stock ranges from vintage and older editions to more recent publications. I individually check and describe each item as accurately as possible, with any significant writing, markings, wear or other imperfections noted in the listing. I understand that edition, publisher, language and condition can be particularly important when buying musical scores and specialist opera material, so I aim to provide clear descriptions and photographs wherever possible. All orders are carefully packaged to protect books and scores during transit. I am based in the United Kingdom and welcome orders from both UK and international buyers. New items from the collection will continue to be added as they are catalogued.
