There are so many exceptions, and new operas written all the time (often
with hellish ensemble parts), that I think it should be at the directors
discretion at "add/drop" time which roles if any should be considered for
ensemble credit. Trying to keep a comprehensive list of every role in
every opera truly would be an "administrative nightmare" :-) This is
especially true with cuts from semester to semester. A role that is
ensemble heavy one semester may not be in the next...
