Introduction

Operabase is the global reference for the performing arts, documenting over 1,000,000 performances across opera, classical music, ballet, and musicals since 1996. With more than 270,000 artists, 2,900 companies, and 1,100 festivals in 3,000+ cities worldwide, it serves professionals and audiences alike by providing season and casting information in 34 languages.

The majority of Operabase's information is provided free of charge. The public area contains access to the current, last and announced future seasons. This information can be searched in various ways:

• search by artist, the title of the work, composer, city, company, dates or a combination of these criteria
• fields with auto completion allow finding names without knowing the exact spelling
• search in different languages for city and country names
• geographic information is used to create interactive maps and listings of performances in neighboring cities

Operabase supplies performance listings to specialist opera magazines, Opera in the UK, Oper! Das Magazin in Germany, Opéra Magazine in France, and Ópera Actual in Spain.
