I could go on, but you get the idea.
Could you maybe say "it depends on the opera"? Some operas are just one aria after another, while others are one ensemble scene after another. Perhaps "soloish" operas could be assigned one course number, while the "ensembleish" operas could be assigned another? Maybe it could even depend on the role? So the student "adds" whichever course number is relevant to her/his role/opera.
