MyWiki:WikiProject Opera/SotM/July2009

— The Opera of the Month collaboration focuses on improving existing articles. —

The operas of the month for July are four German operas:

• Engelbert Humperdinck: Königskinder (needs a synopsis and more developed performance history)
• Erich Wolfgang Korngold: Violanta (is a stub needing expansion and sourcing)
• Richard Strauss: Elektra (needs a performance history and more detailed synopsis)
• Richard Strauss: Salome (needs an expanded performance history and both copy-editing and sourcing for the section "The role of Salome")

Related to these operas, we lack articles on several of their role creators:

• Karel Burian who created Herodes in Salome
• Karl Perron who created Jochanaan in Salome and Orest in Elektra (also the first Baron Ochs in Der Rosenkavalier)
• Marie Wittich who created the title role in Salome
• Margarethe Siems who created Chrysothemis in Elektra (also the first Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier and Zerbinetta in Ariadne auf Naxos)
