1. The MA in Performing Arts (Hellenic Open University) offers an entire specialization in Opera and Music Theatre.
2. The Cambridge Companion to Operetta (ed. by Anastasia Belina & Derek B. Scott, CUP, 2019) includes a 20p. chapter on Operetta in Greece
3. The article “Idolatry and Sacrilege: Offenbach’s Operetta in Nineteenth-century Athens”, published in Studies in Musical Theatre 8: 2 (2014): 129-141 suggests a great number of primary sources and references on the introduction of the French operetta in Greece.
