I did a google search for library guides - "opera scores library
guides"
and found a nice Baylor handout with a web section
(and you'll find many more)

a.
Especially but not necessarily limited to operas on the web
how do you systematically look around the web for free scores?...
c.
or free librettos on the web?...
d.
or free arias on the web?...
Boston Public Library Music Department had suggested
when using the search engines include a keyword... "online"
It's nifty studying a passage while listening to a recording
or the radio.
More braodcasters like at our local
http://whrb.org
or
http://wgbh.org
could via their websites let radio listeners know or point out a
resource or two as a part of the introductory material they might go
over with listeners before broadcasting the music.
Radio broadcasters could update the radio listening experience
for listeners if they arrange their computer by their microphone!

| Scores, and libretti and arias, are very expensive to produce, at
all levels
| and parameters. You should NOT be such a cheapskate as to expect to
find
| these items for free via the web. Consult your local music dealer.
Maybe he
| or she will get you a fair discount.

| If you find a good place/places to look would you tell me for
Classical Singer Mag? Thanks
Okay, please post this so others will know of your interest
too!
| Sorry, but I don't post on Opera L. Too many flamers.
there are features of the list software to deal with that.
for example, the list can be read on the web at
http://listserv.cuny.edu/archives/opera-l.html
| I'm an opera professional. I can't afford the bad publicity that I
can get from being flamed on Opera-l. I do anounce news there once in
a while, but not much else.
