Who wrote only one opera? - search terms
I get the above search term ALL THE TIME, so I figured it is time to answer it! :)
Some great composers have written only one opera, the supreme examples being Beethoven, whose Fidelio is regarded by many as the greatest of all operas, and Debussy (Pelléas et Mélisande), while others have written none, this would include Brahms, Bruckner, Elgar, Mahler, and Ives.
There are many 20th-21st- century composer who as yet, have written only one opera, and time will tell before they join that august list of "composers who wrote only one opera".

Wha a pleasant coincidence that my next bit of blog commentary will discuss this very topic - tentatively titled "One-Hit Wonders of Opera." I hope to have something on this posted within the next several days.
