Kaufman, Thomas G. Annals of Opera. Annals of Italian Opera: Verdi and His Major Contemporaries: A Selected Chronology of Performances with Casts, vol.1. Foreword by William Ashbrook. Garland Reference Library of the Humanities, vol. 1016. New York: Garland Publishing Company Incorporated, 1990.
-
Details the performances in Verdi's day of currently unknown or unpopular operas; also indicates cast lists from the time period.
-
International listing of premier and key performances on operas from Verdi's day are given. For famous operas only key productions are included, while complete performance histories of rare operas are given (through Verdi's death), including information on where they were preformed, and how many times they were performed during Verdi's life.
-
Individual entries by country. Within country, it is subdivided alphabetically by composer, then alphabetically by opera. Each entry specifies title, premier location and date, librettist, cast list, conductor, director, and other key production/performance history.
-
Admittedly incomplete entries, justified by the author, due to lack of records in many cities. Only the more successful operas from Verdi's day are covered. Operas that were less successful during Verdi's life are only included if they represent lesser known composers. No bibliography or source list of any kind.
