Opera Companies and Houses

United Kingdom

Opera companies on the Web
Part of the Opera Schedule Server. Sites organised by country; a very useful resource.
Opera Australia
Messy if you're using a text-based browser, but usable.
La Scala, Milan
Rich site, which has the foresight and consideration to offer a text only version.
That used to be the case; now all I can find is a script-crippled site (with a text-based browser, just a blank page).
Metropolitan Opera, New York

De Nederlandse Opera
In Dutch only.
Regina Opera, Brooklyn
Includes a useful page of synopses for opera newcomers.
Salzburger Festspiele
Includes an English version
Savonlinna

Sydney Opera House
Nearly impossible to use with a text-based browser -- really messy.
Washington Opera
Possible for those with text-based browsers, but not easy. The author seems to know about things like "alt" tags, but hasn't thought about what they're actually for.
Wiener Staatsoper and Wiener Volksoper

United Kingdom

Bel Canto Opera
Based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
English National Opera, London

Glyndebourne Festival Opera
Frames crippled.
Hatstand Opera

Opera della Luna

Opera Factory
English touring company. They're good, but I'm afraid that, for me, the fact that they use English translations rather spoils things.
Opera North
A touring company based in Leeds.
Pegasus Opera Company
Based in London.
Royal Opera House
Frames crippled.
Scottish Opera
Another sight that recognises the existence of text-based browsers; a pleasure to use.
Not any longer -- now frames crippled.
Welsh National Opera
Based in Cardiff. For my money, the best of the U.K. touring companies. This page is, unfortunately, pretty awful if you're using a text-based browser; usable, though.
