I actually want to post a website I discovered in my music 101 class. In that class we study the history of classical music. We were focusing mainly on one Baroque piece and the professor accessed the hunter database for classical music scores. I loved it. its http://shmu.alexanderstreet.com/ I dont know how aware of this site the class is, but it is useful. All you need to do is click search and type in what scores you are looking for. Opera scores do exist here as well
I think the links both point to the same video.
Thank you. I will correct it.
