External Site: Televised Opera and Musical Comedy Database[info]
Developed in association with the Indiana University Digital Library Program, the Televised Opera and Musical Comedy Database documents more than three-quarters of a century of opera, operetta and musical comedy telecasts produced in the United States. The database traces performance programming from early presentations on experimental TV stations to current live and recorded productions released on broadcast and closed circuit television, cable, home video and webcasts. The database is easy to navigate and entries typically gives title, series, opera company, composer, conductor, orchestra, soloists, transmission date, broadcast station, duration and production credits. Some records name the archive which holds a copy and the existence of a commercial VHS or DVD copy is indicated.
