Opera and women's history
- WikiProject Opera will, as usual, feature an all-woman "In this month" on the Opera Portal.
- Our "March Composer of the Month" collaboration will feature Ethel Smyth. We plan to create articles on four of her operas.
- Our "March Operas of the Month" collaboration will work on improving and creating articles for operas based on female historical figures.
- We hope to have several articles from the two collaborations make it to the Did you know? section on the Main Page in March.
