WikiProject Opera is a group of editors writing and maintaining Wikipedia's articles on operas, opera composers and librettists, opera singers and other opera-related subjects. The project also maintains the Opera portal. On our talk page, all editors working in the area (not just members) can exchange ideas and ask questions. Over the years we have developed project guides to writing, structuring, and formatting opera-related articles and for categorizing and assessing them. Our copyright guide focuses on issues particularly relevant to the project's topic area.
New members are always welcome! If you are new to Wikipedia, the first thing to do is to become a registered user—see Wikipedia:How to log in. (There is also an FAQ at Wikipedia:Contributing FAQ.) Then add your name to our Members list. You may also like to visit the Opera portal to get an idea of the range of opera coverage on Wikipedia. For more about WikiProjects in general see the WikiProject guide.

The project was started by Viajero in June 2004. The Opera Project's original logo was this photo of the Sydney Opera House. Its current logo, based on the facade of the Palais Garnier, was designed by Javitomad in October 2007. The number of active participants grew from 2 in 2004 to 11 by the end of 2005. As of December 2010, there were over 35 active participants listed. In May 2006 there were 1,835 articles on opera subjects, rising to 3,530 in June 2007. The project reached the 5,000 article milestone on September 4, 2008 with La púrpura de la rosa. As of February 2023 there were over 13,000 articles under the Opera Project banner, [1] including 7,900 biographies of opera singers. Approximately 25% of all opera-related articles were rated stub class.
In October 2006, the project began Composer of the Month, a monthly collaboration focusing on creating articles for operas by various composers in The Opera Corpus. It now focuses on improving opera composers' biographies and the coverage of subjects related to their works. In November 2007 a second monthly collaboration was added. It was originally called Singer of the Month and focused on creating articles for singers. From January 2009, this was changed to Opera of the Month and now focuses on improving existing articles on operas and subjects related to them. The archive of all the past monthly collaborations is here. The Project was featured in the 18 May 2009 edition of The Wikipedia Signpost. In July of that year, Portal:Opera was promoted to featured status.

All opera-related articles with stub templates can be accessed from Category:Opera stubs with the exception of articles about composers which currently share a stub template with other genres and can be accessed from Category:Composer stubs.
