Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording
From Free net encyclopedia
The Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording has been awarded since 1961. The award was originally titled Best Classical Opera Production. The current title has been used since 1962.
Prior to 1961 the awards for operatic and choral performances were combined in a single award for Best Classical Performance, Operatic or Choral.
Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year.
