PREFACE
Ten years have passed since the last COS directory of contemporary
operas appeared. Each of the five earlier compilations of new works
remarked on the continuous growth, increased interest in and popularity
of the art form, particularly in the United States. Recent developments
have outdistanced any previous statistics (see page 323 for the latest
COS Survey results), and we are pleased to offer herein further documentation of the exciting creativity of American and foreign composers and
librettists, as well as of a large and ever growing audience ready and
curious to listen and look, to accept or reject.
This volume with over 3,200 entries, together with its five precursors,
which it complements and updates, encompass sixty years of new American
operas and forty years of new foreign works. These publications have
been prepared to serve as a guide and inspiration to opera producers;
they also represent a unique record of the abundance of music theater
pieces completed, and in most cases performed, during the periods covered.
The current volume lists 1,526 American works, 160 Canadian works, and
1,191 foreign works written and/or premiered during the last decade.
Reflecting the evolving and widening repertoire, specifically the frequency
of performances of musicals and music theater pieces by opera and light
opera companies within the last ten years, such works have been included
herein for the first time. (Not included are revues, cabaret shows, and
anthologies.) Another recent development that has influenced the presentation in this directory—and in fact has played a major role in the creation
of many new American works—has been the establishment of composer/
librettist workshops and other special opportunities for creative teams to
try out and develop their new music theater works in readings and progressive workshops. These are listed as "rdg." or "wksp." and precede the
actual premiere. (Note that the term "workshop", which formerly indicated
academic performances, now refers to developmental tryouts.)
Works are arranged alphabetically by composer in three sections, American,
Canadian, and Foreign, with the composer's nationality, not the place of
the premiere, determining their inclusion in the appropriate list. (The
policy regarding works by multiple composers may be found in the "Guide
to Entries.") Forty-seven different nationalities are noted in the lists of
foreign works and American premieres, and reflect the status of each
nation as it existed during the period covered by the Directory, i.e. East
Germany and the various "republics" of the U.S.S.R.
Operas listed in the earlier COS directories have not been repeated here
unless new details such as a premiere date and place could be offered.
This rule pertains also to works included in the COS Directory of Operas/
Musicals for Young Audiences, published in 1985, where information about
most children's operas written and/or premiered in the first half of the
decade may be found. Another editorial decision affects those foreign
language music theater pieces for children for which no English translations
are available. Most of these have been omitted, recognizing the repertory
practices of North American producers of children's works. A few exceptions to these rules were made in order to provide fuller work-lists for
composers who appear in this volume with other operas or musicals.
The fourth section is devoted to 326 North American premieres that
occurred during the 1980-89 period. It includes only those works which
had first performances in the United States and/or in Canada following
-v-
their world premieres elsewhere. This section is a sequel to previous
American premiere listings published in COS directories in 1968, 1975 and
1980.
A source for each work, when known, is indicated at the bottom of the
right-hand column; "Sources of Musical Materials" (page 278) provides full
names and addresses of known sources. (Otherwise, materials may often
be obtained from the named performing organization, if any.) Separate
title indexes for works by American, Canadian, and foreign composers,
and for works that received American premieres, complete the Directory.
To conserve space, abbreviations have been extensively used, and a key
is given on the following pages, as part of a guide to the contents of
the entries. Users of the previous COS directories will find that most
of the abbreviations and the general format have been retained.
In preparation for this Directory, several thousand questionnaires were
sent to organizations and individuals in the United States, Canada, and
41 countries abroad. We gratefully acknowledge the help of organizations
such as the American Composers Alliance; the American Music Center;
Broadcast Music Inc (BMI), which distributed our questionnaire to hundreds
of its members; the College Music Society; the National Opera Association;
Opera News; Show Business; the Theatre Communications Group; the
Canadian Music Centre; the Canadian National Library; the Performing
Rights Organization of Canada (PROCAN); the Internationales Musikzentrum Wien; the Australian Music Centre; the Bulgarian Composers'
Society; the Czechoslovakian Theatrical & Literary Agency, the International Center of the Czech Music Fund, the Union of Czech Composers
& Concert Artists, and the Slovak Music Fund; the Danish Music Information Center and the Society for the Publication of Danish Music; the
Finnish Music Information Centre and the Finnish Composers International
Copyright Bureau; GEMA, Bonn; the Bureau for the Protection of Authors'
Rights, Budapest; the Icelandic Music Information Centre; the Israel Music
Institute; the Norwegian Music Information Centre; the Swedish Music
Information Center, and the Swedish Performing Rights Society; the
Ministries of Culture of the U.S.S.R. and the Russian S.F.S.R. and the
Union of Composers of the U.S.S.R. (We regret if we have inadvertently
omitted any other contributing organizations.)
They and the music publishers have been of immeasurable assistance by
publicizing the preparation of this directory, soliciting data for us, and
in many cases by supplying detailed information about individual works.
We also acknowledge with sincere thanks the hundreds of composers and
librettists who completed questionnaires and sent supporting material.
Most organizations and corporations, and many individuals, may be found
in "Sources of Musical Materials."
The compilation and editing of the Directory would not have been possible
without the dedicated assistance of staff members and volunteers. Mention
of their names with the expression of our sincere gratitude—and, we are
certain, the gratitude of all those who will use this book—is only a small
reward, but we hope one that will help to recognize their contribution.
The volunteers were Fritzi Bickhardt, Virginia Ansted, Marie Bloch, Susan
Felix, and Norma Litton; the staff members were Cheryl Kempler, Ingrid
Droesler, and Regina Fiorito.
