The Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording has been awarded since 1961. The award was originally titled Best Classical Opera Production. The current title has been used since 1962.
Prior to 1961 the awards for operatic and choral performances were combined in a single award for Best Classical Performance, Operatic or Choral.
The award goes to the conductor, the album producer(s) and the principal soloists.
Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year.
