— ''The Opera of the Month collaboration focuses on improving existing articles. —''

The operas of the month for July are four German operas:


 * Engelbert Humperdinck: Königskinder (needs a synopsis and more developed performance history)
 * Erich Wolfgang Korngold: Violanta (is a stub needing expansion and sourcing)
 * Richard Strauss: Elektra (needs a performance history and more detailed synopsis)
 * Richard Strauss: Salome (needs an expanded performance history and both copy-editing and sourcing for the section "The role of Salome")

Related to these operas, we lack articles on several of their role creators:
 * Karel Burian who created Herodes in Salome
 * Karl Perron who created Jochanaan in Salome and Orest in Elektra (also the first Baron Ochs in Der Rosenkavalier)
 * Marie Wittich who created the title role in Salome
 * Margarethe Siems who created Chrysothemis in Elektra (also the first Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier and Zerbinetta in Ariadne auf Naxos)
