List of operas by Telemann
This is a list of the operas of the German composer Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767).
According to historical sources, Telemann may have written over 50 operas; however, only 35 works are of sufficient substance to appear in his catalogue of works (see below), and only nine of these are preserved complete.[1]
