[comp.music] Advice Sought

Please advise me on the following issue.

I would like to construct what would sound like orchestral recordings of 
selected fragments of Mozart operas but without the voice parts, and
transposed into keys different from the original.  I want to do this 
without having to manually enter the music into a synthesizer either through a
keyboard or through a sequencer.  Thus, I would like to either use a
scanner which could read the score and translate it into a sequencer
file, or be able to "enter" a recorded version of the opera into a
synthesizer and then twiddle it.  Are either of these possible?

Alternatively, does someone already have sequencer files for the operas I am 
interested in: "Don Giovanni", "Marriage of Figaro", "Cosi
Fan Tutte", and "The Magic Flute"?  

Thanks,
