Context: Martin's Lie is a chamber opera in one act with music and an English language libretto by Gian Carlo Menotti.  Commissioned by CBS, it was Menotti's third opera for television after "Amahl and the Night Visitors" and "Labyrinth".  Although not initially conceived as a work for the stage, the opera premiered in a live theatrical performance on 3 June 1964 at the Bristol Cathedral for the opening of the 17th annual Bath International Music Festival.  The opera was subsequently filmed with the same cast for television under the direction of Kirk Browning.  The production used sets and costumes by designer Anthony Powell, and was broadcast nationally by CBS for the opera's United States premiere on 30 May 1965. Anna Kraus, Op. 30 is a radio opera in one act by composer Franz Reizenstein.  The work uses an English language libretto by Christopher Hassall which tells the tragic tale of a German woman who is forced to leave her country due to oppression from the Nazi regime, as the Nazis did not like her political views.  The opera was commissioned by the British Broadcasting Corporation following the popular success of Reizenstein's 1951 cantata "Voices of Night".  The opera premiered on 25 July 1952 on BBC Third Programme with conductor Norman Del Mar leading the BBC Symphony Orchestra and singers Victoria Sladen (as Anna) and Lloyd Strauss-Smith (as Pavel).  It was submitted by the BBC later that year for the Prix Italia.  Critical reaction to the work was mixed.  The "New Statesman" described the work as "engaging" and a "worthwhile experiment". " The Annual Register" wrote that the opera "suffered from the composer's emotion being too closely engaged in the sufferings of the heroine, a refugee from political oppression". A Coffin in Egypt is a chamber opera in one act by composer Ricky Ian Gordon.  The work uses an English language libretto by Leonard Foglia which is based on a 1980 play by Horton Foote.  Set in Egypt, Texas, the work tells the story of Myrtle Bledsoe, an embittered 90-year-old woman who sifts through the memories of her past in a quest for self-forgiveness.  The opera had its world premiere at the Houston Grand Opera (HGO) in March 2014. Gallantry is a one act opera by composer Douglas Moore.

The opera premiered in a double bill with Dominick Argento's "The Boor" on March 19, 1958, in New York City at the now-destroyed Brander Matthews Theater on 117th Street, between Amsterdam Avenue and Morningside Drive.  It was presented by the Columbia University School of Music with a student cast.  It has subsequently been staged by several other university opera theatre programs in the United States and Canada, including UCLA (1958, 1974, and 1994), Immaculate Heart College (1968), Goucher College (1969), the University of Michigan (1978), the University of Toronto (1988), San Diego State University (1989), Pepperdine University (1990), Wilfrid Laurier University (1992), the University of Arizona (1995), George Washington University (1999), and the University of Wisconsin (2003) among others.

The opera uses an English language libretto by Jamie Lee Cooper and premiered at the Central City Opera in Denver, Colorado on July 28, 1979 with Joy Davidson in the title role.  The opera tells a tale of necromancy and betrayal among a Navajo tribe.  Music critic Bill Zakariasen wrote in his review of the opera in "Musical America", "This muddled tale of necromancy among the Navajos only turned our understanding of these people back to a wigwam one.  Anderson's music, despite its lack of authentic racial atmosphere, proved well-orchestrated, smoothly developed, and firmly attuned to the dramatic action." Markheim is an opera in one act by composer Carlisle Floyd.  The work uses an English language libretto by the composer, after the story of the same name by Robert Louis Stevenson.  The opera was premiered by the New Orleans Opera on March 31, 1966, under the baton of Knud Andersson, and directed by the composer.  The original cast was led by Norman Treigle (to whom the opera was dedicated) in the title role, with Alan Crofoot as Josiah Creach, Audrey Schuh as Tess, and William Diard as the Stranger.  A recording of the original cast was released on the Video Artists International record label, in 1995. Labyrinth is an opera in one act by composer Gian Carlo Menotti.  The work was commissioned for television by the NBC Opera Theatre and uses an English language libretto by the composer.  Unlike Menotti's previous television operas, such as "Amahl and the Night Visitors", this opera was written with no intention of being moved to live stage performance later.  Menotti intended for this work to utilize the special effects unique to television which could not be recreated in live theatre.  As a result, NBC's television production of the opera is the only performance the work has received.  At its premiere in March 1963 the opera was mainly criticized by the press for its trite use of allegory and music which rejected the avante garde in favour of romanticism.  Critic Harold C. Schonberg stated in his review in "The New York Times" that, "Menotti falls back on the procedures he has always used: the scraps of canonic imitation, the stretches of parlando, the Puccini like melodies, the banal waltz themes... [It] ended up an allegory that had all the dimension of a Mobius strip: an example of slick television and cinema of the 1960s wedded pretty much to music of the 1890s... On the whole "Labyrinth" is one of the thinnest musical concoctions Menotti has ever put together.
