Introduction

Operabase has documented operatic activity worldwide since 1996, with over 500,000 performances on file. It records the work of artists in over 900 theatres, and publishes season information to opera-goers in 23 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.
