The Aria Database
The Aria Database is a diverse collection of information on over 1000 operatic arias. Designed for singers and non-singers alike, the Database includes translations and aria texts of most arias as well as a collection of MIDI files of operatic arias and ensembles.
You can search by arias, operas, composers, and roles. I tried a composer search for wagner and got 83 hits. The results information displays as follows
