As anyone with a library card can access the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, some readers may be interested to note that this month there has been a notable expansion of the articles devoted to opera singers:
There are about thirty new articles, for singers who have unaccountably been missed out of the DNB before now. The full list (with the introduction to the expansion) is at the link above: such singers as Owen Brannigan, Walter Widdop, Edith Coates and Charles Craig are among the new entrants, together with the popular singing duo Anne Ziegler and Webster Booth. At last they are where they deserve to be!
