Janis and others who request research information.

Are you a music major. What course are you taking that requires this
paper. If you have had music theory I cannot imagine that you would
not know the differences between 19th and 20th century music.

Use your library. Look at the articles on 20th century opera in your
reference books in the library. Groves dictionary is a good
beginning place or the Groves Dictionary of Opera would be most
logical. There is a wealth of literature available but you must look
for it and not expect us to provide it for you.

It is through the looking (research?) that you learn about the wealth
of material available and develop a sense of how to find things for
yourself. It is through the research that you become educated. One
must always, eventually , learn for themselves. College is only a
guiding light at best.

I wish you well. Lets us know how the paper comes out.
