We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
It will be noticed that the operatic titles are all in the left column in alphabetical order. If the opposite side is also an opera air in English, then the selections are reversed and repéated further down the column (see
Carmen and Trovatore airs), to give th e second title its own proper position. hae Possible Errors—Suggestiors Invited.
