Opera karaoke

[kriszta]

Hello!
I don’t know if my problem really belongs in this forum but I can’t think of another way to solve it now, I don’t have the time to do a thoroughly investigation on it. I need to make a karaoke-like video to be shown within a theater play, with the songs Wicked Game (Chris Isaac) and two opera pieces (Tosca- Vissi d’arte, Madama Butterfly-Un bel di vedremo). It needs to be impeccable and high quality, the audio as well as the video part. I can handle the video part, I already made the two opera files with After Effects animation, looks very good, but I don’t have the music for it, I don’t have the “only instrumental” music for either of them. Not even for Wicked Game. The problem is that I don’t understand anything of the technical part cause I never had anything to do with karaoke files. What I understood so far is that MIDI files are synthesizer music, that one I can not use, I need a good quality recorded instrumental music. Can you help me with any advice where to get it from, how to handle this problem?
Waiting for your response. Thank you. Kriszta

I am afraid that if you need really high quality audio track you need to have it recorder. You probably should have no problems with finding karaoke version of Chris Isaaks tune, but I would have no clue where to look for opera music that meets your requirments.
