Parsons, Charles H. The Mellen Opera Reference Index. Lewiston, N.Y.: Edwin Mellen Press, 1983.
-
An extensive reference index that enables researchers to identify information relating to opera. Includes information on composers, librettists, performers, recordings, premier information, and reviews. Much of the information indexed is not readily available online or through library catalogues. The index provides a variety of searching options.
-
Parsons began compiling this reference index in 1974 because of the lack of any recent or extensive catalogues on opera. He included information on all operas he could discover. He searched through the collections of libraries in Cincinnati and then traveled to Europe where he gathered information from archives there, including information from the Royal Opera House in London, Cambridge University, and libraries and private collections in Rome. Following the completion of his first project, consisting of nine volumes, he began adding volumes to supplement the original index with material obtained from further research. The index continues in a state of constant updating.
