It is nice to be able to see the lyrics to famous arias.
I purchased this because I was impressed by the detailed libretto (lyrics). I also liked that the content explained the meaning of the arias from the listener's perspective, rather than focusing on academic expertise. However, it is too focused on Italian opera... It is a shame that there are no pieces from Russian, German, or Eastern European traditions.
