This is a list of the operatic vocal scores I’ve located on Google Books. It will surely be incomplete, but as of this writing, it is still difficult to single out these scores. (Besides, they will surely add new scores faster than I can find them! Nevertheless, I’ll endeavor to keep this list updated as I find more.) I am generally not including operas by composers I’ve never heard of. However, I am including some works by some lesser known composers which may be worth investigating. (I am particularly curious to hear the operettas by Edward German, who succeeded Sir Arthur Sullivan at the Savoy.)
