Opera Resources on the World Wide Web
The following listing includes opera information servers on the Web that we
recommend for your additional browsing pleasure. We do not pretend to
maintain an exhaustive list of all opera-oriented sites.
Additional sites may be suggested for inclusion, but the editors reserve
the right to accept or reject such suggestions.
The sites listed are strictly educational and informational, providing
general information about the world of opera.
We regret that we cannot provide links to commercial sites offering goods
