You have a good pile of work before you.  Since Shakespeare died in
Stratford 1616, there has been written about 400 operas on Shakespeares
themes.  That counts about one opera per year.  And if you add al songs,
romances, cantatas, tonepoems etc, you will reach close to one opus per
week outpoured on the timespan since his death.
