The research team--two students and one faculty member--underwent an extensive study of American operas premiered since 1981, examining the operas themselves, the composers, and the history of American opera. The team then combined that research into a list of Operas, a research paper, and an hour long lecture performance. Finally, they answered the question "What is American about American opera?"
