Abstract: The article focuses on the new series of critical editions of the operas and dramatic works of Johann Christian Bach, the youngest son of Johann Sebastian Bach, published by the Packard Humanities Institute. This series aims to provide modern, legible, and reliable editions of Bach's major secular vocal compositions, which have historically been less accessible. The first two volumes reviewed are "Zanaida" and "Carattaco," both of which include detailed introductions, critical reports, and complete librettos with English translations. The series is intended for specialized music collections and large libraries, and it highlights Bach's significant influence on the development of opera, particularly in relation to Mozart.
