In celebration of Women's History Month, the Operas of the Month are all based on historical female figures.
For improvement...
- Saariaho's Émilie, based on the life of Émilie du Châtelet (pictured), is a stub needing expansion.
- Handel's Berenice, based on the life of Berenice III of Egypt, lacks a synopsis and we lack an article for Maria Caterina Negri who created the role of Arsace.
For creation...
- Respighi's Lucrezia, based on the life of Lucretia
- Gomes's Maria Tudor, based on the life of Mary Tudor, Queen of France
- Mercadante's Nitocri, based on the life of Nitocris
