- List of Paris Music Drama Performances. (Complete.) This document was prepared by Mark Everist and Sarah Gutsche-Miller. It gives performance data for the four principal Parisian opera houses for the following periods:
Opéra (1826-1893); Opéra-Comique (1825-1894); Théâtre-Italien (1801-1913); Théâtre-Lyrique (1851-1870). It brings together the data listed in the four following works:

Soubies, Albert, Soixante-neuf ans à l’Opéra-Comique en deux pages de la première de La dame blanche à la millième de Mignon (1825-1894) (Paris: Fischbacher, 1894)

The information is presented in an Excel spreadsheet with dates along the horizontal axis and titles and other data on the vertical axis. Each institution is on a separate worksheet, identified on the tabs at the bottom of the sheet. Clicking on different tabs brings up data for different institutions.
The spreadsheet is difficult to use unless a double window split is employed. To do this, select cell B2 and then click Window>Split. This has to be reversed when moving from one worksheet to another.
