— The Opera of the Month focuses on improving existing opera articles and the coverage of related subjects. —
The Operas of the Month for February are Gounod's La reine de Saba and Massenet's Roma
- La reine de Saba premiered 150 years ago this month. The article needs considerable expansion. In addition, we need an article on Pauline Guéymard-Lauters who created the title role (and also created the roles of Princess Eboli in Verdi's Don Carlos and Gertrude in Thomas's Hamlet).
- Roma premiered 100 years ago this month. The article needs considerable expansion and improvement as does the article on its librettist, Henri Caïn. In addition, we need an article on Pierre Clauzure who created the role of Lucius Cornélius (and also sang in the premiere of Massenet's Cléopâtre).
