Opera is the world’s leading magazine devoted to the operatic artform. Founded in 1950 it provides an extensive range of feature articles, interviews, listings and reviews – of live performances, books and recordings. Now incorporating the US publication Opera News, this range extends yet further, offering unrivalled worldwide coverage of events.
A subscription to the online edition of Opera magazine provides fully searchable access to the contents of every issue—beginning with the first, published in February 1950. The site provides IP-authenticated remote web access, with no requirement to log in with username and password, and access is seamless, crossing iOS and Android platforms.
Universities, conservatories and colleges with strong music programmes will benefit from subscriptions to both digital periodicals.
