About Opera Almanac

What this site is and where its facts come from.

Opera Almanac presents, for each catalogued opera, the structured facts that Wikidata records for the work and the opening of the corresponding Wikipedia article, reproduced under CC BY-SA 4.0. Images are served from Wikimedia Commons.

Earlier versions of this site also published synopses, performance histories and editorial commentary that were not drawn from any source. They have been removed.

Unsourced generated commentary was removed in October 2026 after a review found it could not be traced to a source.
