A concert aria is normally a free-standing
aria or opera-like scene (scena) composed for singer and orchestra, written specifically for performance in concert rather than as part of an
opera. Concert arias have usually been composed for particular singers.The term is also sometimes additionally used for arias which were specifically composed for insertion into already-existing operas, either as additions to the score or as substitutions for other arias. These are sometimes performed in concerts because they are no longer required for their original purpose, though they were not, strictly speaking, composed for performance in concert.
