Abstract: New American Opera underwent a renaissance during the 1980's, as the number of operatic premieres multiplied dramatically. This guide lists 119 Baritone and Bass arias from American operas during that decade. Organized by composer, each entry includes a listing of librettist, opera producer and year of premiere, opening line of aria, singer in first production, voice type, range, publisher and/or source information, location of aria in the piano/vocal score, AMC call number (if applicable), and recordings. Each entry also includes comments related to plot synopsis, tessitura, tempo and interpretive insights, often with suggestions from the composer. There is an introductory essay, "Opera in the 1980's", a Key to the Guide, a list of music sources and bibliography. Indexes for operas, aria titles and opening lines are included as well.
