(Mostly) Italian opera resources page

Opera is first and foremost a matter of art...

It is quite frequent to pass from the most known to the unknown: here instead I suppose first to introduce you to the life of an Italian rather unknown (and unsuccessful) Opera composer (sorry, this page is only in Italian !): Stefano Gobatti

Most Opera composers can be found in this site or, more generally, might be present in this Classical composers database .
If you miss someone, however, you cannot avoid a consultation of the Underrated masterpieces.
For quick news on some composers, perhaps you would be quite satisfied just in entering the Index of composers

If you would like to understand also what the hell they say during the play, then go to e-libretto

A lot about opera can be found in Mario Biondi's site
