## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need curated, authoritative classical music and opera news from established specialist outlets (SlippedDisc, OperaWire) rather than general news aggregators. Ideal for arts-organization monitoring agents, classical music publicists, or institutional audience engagement tools that need targeted coverage of appointments, seasons, and controversy rather than broad entertainment news.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned when freshness window is too narrow or search terms too specific
- Source filter typo causes empty result set
- Rate limit or payment failure returns 402 error
- limit parameter exceeding 50 returns validation error
