INTRODUCTION

The frequency of requests for a directory of American Contemporary Operas
prompted us to undertake this publication. Once this decision was made,
however, a multitude of problems arose. "What is American opera?" "What
is contemporary opera?" "Is the listing limited to operas already performed,
- to operas published?"

Some of the answers at which we arrived may seem arbitrary; however, here
are the guide lines we have observed:

American includes naturalized citizens and U.S. residents. Not included are
operas written prior to American residency; not listed are composers now
residing in the U.S., whose operas precede American domicile. Operas com-
posed by Americans while living abroad are included.

Contemporary includes operas premiered since 1930. Composers eligible
under this rule are listed with all their operas, even those preceding the
1930 deadline to show their complete operatic output.

Non-performed operas are included only if the source for the material is
known or if they complete the list of operas written by a composer listed
with other works already premiered.

Because of the comparatively small number of published American contemp-
orary operas, non-published works are included. Operas available from
publishers are so indicated in the fourth column with publishers' keys and
addresses listed in Appendix A. Composers who are members of either the
American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) or of
Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI) may be contacted for their unpublished works
through the respective organization. Where no source for the availability
of the material is given, we suggest contacting the organization which pre-
miered the opera. In some cases COS may be of assistance in finding the
private address of a composer.

Appendix B offers a cross reference, indexing operas by titles.
