As far as arrangements for piano, I suggest you try the Freehand Music website. For a modest price, you can download all kinds of sheet music. IF you search under "opera", and then put in Mozart and the composer, and piano as the instrumentation, you will get a whole list. Some are arrangements with voice, but there are quite a few arrangements for either piano solo, or piano four-hands (which means you have to invite a friend over).

I like the CD a lot! Instead of walking into a theater and listening to a real opera, this CD really can bring people like me, who don't know much about Operas, into the world of oepras.
At last, I wonder if we have this kind of opera arrangement for piano and where I can find them.
Raymond, thanks for your podcast! This is podcast is great!!!
