Molly. Do you know an Opera Coach? Or ask others in your ensemble if they know of one.....That would be the best.....If not, get the recording and start slowly. I find if I write the words down I memorize and learn much faster.........But a coach who can help youstart from scratch is the best.....I had one of the finest coaches in the country, Maestro Suppa. I was not a good musician. He would start me from scratch and by golly, i learned the part and the opera in no time........Now I am a musician and thank god I did become one because of him.....A Coach is my suggestion. Learning an Opera part on your own is not good. Bobby.Philly
