Could you maybe say "it depends on the opera"? Some operas are just one
aria after another, while others are one ensemble scene after
another. Perhaps "soloish" operas could be assigned one course number,
while the "ensembleish" operas could be assigned another? Maybe it could
even depend on the role? So the student "adds" whichever course number is
relevant to her/his role/opera.
