Fair Use Goes to the Opera

  I am interested in utilizing fair use to make use of several songs from an opera recording. When making a fair use assessment for the amount of the work being used should the entire opera be considered a single work or must the fair use analysis be made for each individual song?
  
  I've been scouring all types of copyright resources and am having trouble finding any law, rulings, or recommendations which address this question. Can anyone point me toward any resources which might provide me with some guidance as to how to proceed?

  You don't say what you want to use them for, but the Music Library Association has some good guidelines that might help: http://copyright.musiclibraryassoc.org/
