Met Opera Annals available

Annals of the Metropolitan Opera, a print source that has long been available in libraries is finally online. The Metropolitan Opera has made available it's large archive of performances. Users can search by keyword, or browse in a number of different indexes. Two fascinating parts of the database are the Repertory Report and Performers Report. The Repertory Report gives, in descending order, the number of performances of every opera at the Met. Which one has been performed the most? La Bohème, of course. The singer with the highest number of performances? Tenor Charles Anthony with 2896.
