New Grove Online includes the full text of the four volume
New Grove Dictionary of Opera, over 11,000 articles.
It also offers notated music examples, specialized searches,
hypertext links to digital sound, and quarterly and annual
updates. The New Grove Dictionary of Opera includes
contributions from over 1,300 of the world's leading critics
and scholars. 11,000 articles, all fully cross-referenced,
create a work that has become established as the essential
opera reference. Indeed, every aspect of this varied art form
is covered: composers, conductors, directors, performers,
librettists, literary sources, cities and countries,
operatic historians, and opera genres and terminology.
- Over 1,800 operas are discussed from the late 16th century
Florentine Camerata, through the great 18th and 19th century operas,
to contemporary works such as the minimalist theatre pieces of Philip Glass
- The lives and careers of over 2,900 composers are discussed in depth,
with entries containing critical assessments as well as discussion of
their individual careers and major achievements
- Profiles of singers who have made significant contributions to opera
are included, from Francesco Rasi in the 1600s to Luciano Pavarotti in the 1990s
