RO Editions for Hire

We have a range of performing materials available to hire. We can also provide single items from the operas.

Vocal scores for some of these operas are available on IMSLP. Vocal scores of the period often have typographical errors in them, are sometimes hard to read, and at times don’t actually match the original full score. Very, very gradually, we are producing newly typeset vocal scores which match the other performing materials.

For information about fees and other details please contact us using the form opposite/below, or (probably better) email Valerie Langfield direct at rcq@valerielangfield.co.uk.
