Virtuoso Singers For

Any Production

Voices of Opera is a brand new virtual instrument collection featuring the sensational vocals of soprano Larisa Martinez and tenor Carton Moe. Whether classical, romantic or apocalyptic, Voices of Opera contains some of the best performances ever recorded, captured with a collection of warm, detailed vintage microphones. If you’ve been on the hunt for singers that possess enough power to reign over an orchestra, or even complement a soft passage meant to gently stoke an emotional response from listeners, this collection is just what you’re looking for.

Produced with the high attention to detail and polish we've come to expect from EastWest, Voices of Opera effectively transfers the skill and musicality of world–class performers into a highly playable virtual instrument. Nominated for Best Software Instrument.

World-Renowned

Singers

Larisa Martinez has established a strong and unique presence in the classical performance world. Having performed with opera titan Andrea Bocelli as his principal soprano on a world tour, she also won the Metropolitan Opera National Council Audition PR district 2016, receiving the Angel Ramos Foundation Award and Audience Prize.She earned raved reviews as Musetta in Loft Opera’s critically acclaimed production of La Bohéme and for her other leading roles in Verdi’s Rigoletto, Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette, Rossini’s Adina, Floyd’s Susannah, and Donizetti’s Don Pasquale and Lucia di Lammermoor.

Heralded by the New York Times as an "ardent tenor," Carlton Moe performed as Ubaldo Piangi in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, the longest running show on Broadway. His opera credits include Lakmé (Gerald), I Capuletti e I Montecchi (Tebaldo), The Mother of Us All (John Adams), Ernest Bloch's Macbeth (Malcolm), and Roméo et Juliette (Tybalt), and he was a soloist in major works such as Verdi’s Requiem, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, Mozart’s Requiem, and Handel’s Messiah.

I have always loved opera", said co-producer Doug Rogers "at its best, it can send shivers down your spine. And that's what happened when I saw Andrea Bocelli and Larisa Martinez performing together at the Hollywood Bowl. Larisa agreed to work with us on Voices of Opera. The recording sessions were sensational. She has the voice of an angel, her pitch is perfect, her range and vocal power unsurpassed. Then the opportunity arose to add tenor Carlton Moe (Phantom of the Opera) to the project. He just has this incredibly rich tone. It was truly a labor of love.

Sustain

10 vocal instruments for held, single-syllable vowels - Ah, Ee, Eh, Oh, Oo. When you want to capture a long note with all its subtle expression, this will likely be your go-to collection in this library.

Staccato

32 short, articulate vocal instruments. These are great for punctuating spiccato and pizzicato string passages, light woodwind staccato, and even high-drama percussion moments. Soprano: Bra, Cher, Ci, Don, Fa, Goh, Joh, Ki, Kom, Lu, Na, Oo, Prey, Ra, Te, Toh, Voh. Tenor: Bra, Cher, Ci, Don, Fa, Goh, Joh, Ki, Kon, Lu, Na, Oo, Prey, Te, Toh, Voh.

Legato

4 instruments with natural-sounding Ah and Oh true legato intervals up to an octave in either direction when playing connected notes, auto-triggering sustain samples when notes are separated. Perfect for creating lyrical, dramatic passages.

Combo

8 instances combining multiple articulations into a single instrument, with flexible Mod Wheel and Round Robin control over real-time playback. Sustain MOD, Legato MOD, and Staccato Combo RR.

Words

42 vocal instruments with performances of specific Italian words mapped chromatically across the keyboard. Addio, Amore, Bravissimo, Cara, Caro, Cielo, Dolore, Donna, Ella, Fiore, Fortuna, Forza, Gloria, Insieme, Mai, Morte, Nobilta, Potere, Sacro, Signore, Vincero.

Phrases

36 full phrases and 84 sub-phrases from the arias of Verdi, Puccini, Mozart, Rossini, Bizet and more. 43 phrases and sub-phrases for Soprano, 40 phrases and sub-phrases for Tenor, and 37 Duet phrases and sub-phrases. Phrases were recorded in multiple keys, and individual sub-phrases can be rotated via the Mod Wheel.

Keyswitch

9 instruments combining multiple articulations into a single instrument, using keyswitches to activate the desired choice. When you need flexible performance technique and a lot of real-time control, this will be your collection of choice..

A rare find in vocal libraries are Voices of Opera’s extremely successful dynamic stages in the sustain, legato and staccato instruments, which allow a nuanced, dramatically varied play. The result is a dense, floating, and spacious sound, creating an impressive listening experience that can enrich classical compositions for film music or experiments between pop and classical music. An excellent, flawless sound is the hallmark of award-winning producers Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix.

Pristine Recording
Techniques

Choose and create your own mix from multiple vintage mic positions including Front, Rear, and Room. The Front mic is a Telefunken 251, a famous vocal mic that captures incredible warmth and detail. For the duet phrases, a Neumann U67 was added to fully capture the sound of both singers. The Rear includes a pair of vintage Cole 4038s that add more depth and space. The Room mix includes a Decca tree made up of Neumann M50s and a pair of AKG C12 outriggers, replicating the mic set-up of a classical stage. All recordings were made at EastWest Studios, our world famous recording studios known for producing more Grammy nominations than any other studio in the world: 121 in the last 7 years.

The sound quality was never going to be in question with this title: this comes from EastWest after all, and they are the best in the business. There is nothing else quite like Voices of Opera on the market nor another developer brave enough to attempt it. A solid addition to the ‘Voices’ range making this category an attractive draw card for the brand.

WHAT WILL YOU

CREATE?

You can use the voices of Larisa and Carlton in a wide range of settings outside of traditional opera mockups: hybrid orchestra film scores, acapella at a pivotal plot point and drenched in reverb, maybe even together in a duet where other vocal libraries simply don’t deliver enough flare. But by combining Voices of Opera with Hollywood Choirs and Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition, you can achieve nearly any large-scale sound for voice and ensemble. What will you create first?
