The New Grove Dictionary of Opera is an encyclopedia of opera. It is the largest work on opera in English, and in its printed form, amounts to 5,448 pages in four volumes.
The dictionary was first published in 1992 by Macmillan Reference, London, and edited by Stanley Sadie. Christina Bashford was the managing editor. While some entries were based on their equivalent entry in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, most were specially commissioned. The work contains contributions from over 1,300 scholars, with 11,000 articles in total, covering over 2,900 composers and 1800 operas. The operas discussed range from the earliest operas in 16th century Italy to the 1992 Philip Glass work The Voyage.
