[edit] First Spanish opera

Just curious about: It was the first Spanish-language opera to be commissioned by major U.S. opera houses. What about Yerma, 1971, Santa Fe Opera? --DrG 09:31, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)

Was Yerma commissioned by Santa Fe, or did it merely debut there? It may also be possible that the person who wrote this (the information comes from the program) either did not know about Yerma, or used the term "major" as a way of accounting for it. I suppose whether Santa Fe qualifies as major is a subjective question, but clearly it's not in the same class as the three here. --Michael Snow 18:24, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
