[Menvi-discuss] Opera in Braille

[Ella Yu]

Hello, I don't know about existing opera scores in braille, though I'm sure
excerpts of operas have been transcribed into braille in various places but
not entire operas. I'm going to guess that because a full score for a full
length opera is massive, it takes a ton of time to transcribe, and the
demand is very low, that's why it doesn't exist. I hope you do get more
helpful responses than what I had to offer here.
