Margarita, Thank you, thank you! I had searched the Web endlessly to no avail. I have had to learn recently to sing in a variety of other languages, and I must admit that I find it very hard to do this without a real comprehension of the lyrics. The French and Latin I can handle (just) but I need to do some basic study on the Italian and German. The Italian language looks a lot easier, and I adore Verdi. Any clues please for an Italian language primer on the Web?

Regards
John
