Abstract This study provides an overview of the two operas composed by Paul Stuart in collaboration with librettist Sally M. Gall. It includes biographical information on the composer and librettist, as well as the historical background upon which each opera is based. An examination of the staging concepts, with a separate survey of vocal and orchestral characteristics, is provided for each work. A commentary regarding selected solo arias and extended solo segments is included as a reference for vocalists, vocal instructors and vocal coaches. Appendices contain dates and personnel listings for each opera’s premiere performance and premiere compact disc recording, as well as the composer’s original drafts of production budgets.
