You could try to find out in Ethel Smyth's, Elizabeth Maconchy's or Peggy Glanville-Hicks's operas, or better, ask Frangiz Ali-Zade, Karolina Eiriksdottir, Hanna Kulenty, Meredith Monk, Inger Wikstrom or Judith Weir what they have to tell about theirs:-) (There must be some more, I'll try to find them in my data.)
