News and Reviews of Opera
Opera is an international art, and using the Internet as your source for news and reviews puts the world at your fingertips. The sources listed below cover new performances, company news, recording releases and reviews, and features on opera artists. Whether you’re looking to choose the next performance you see, expand your CD collection, or stalk your favorite tenor, the sites below have you covered.
Dulcinea's Insight
- Your local paper online is a good place to search for reviews and news about performances in your area. Or choose a paper from a nearby big city. For example, The New York Times collects all its opera news and reviews on one page, listed newest to oldest. Although news may be somewhat New York-centric, the Times generally provides good international coverage.
- For more reviews of recordings, investigate sites that sell opera music, found in the “Buying Opera Recordings” section of this guide.
