Wikipedia: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)
