The tenor Francisco Viñas was always concerned with the challenges of voice production and the correct use of vocal technique. With this in mind, and considering the difficulties young singers face during their training, he wrote this book, which comprises both theoretical and practical sections with specific exercises addressing different aspects of vocal technique. These exercises were transcribed by his brother Mariano Viñas, a composer and canon at the Cathedral of Barcelona.
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the book's publication in Spanish, with a prologue by Victoria de los Ángeles, the Francisco Viñas Foundation, with the sponsorship of Laboratorios Viñas, decided to translate the book into English, thus contributing to Tenor Viñas's original aim of helping young singers.
The Francisco Viñas Private Foundation is a non-profit organization whose objectives include supporting young opera singers. In order to continue supporting the careers of young singers, the book "The Art of Singing" will be offered as a token of appreciation for a donation of at least €10, to be made by bank transfer (bank charges to be borne by the donor) to the following account:
