Success of Bernoulli trials with different probabilities

If 20 independent Bernoulli trials are carried out each with a different probability of success and therefore failure. What is the probability that exactly n of the 20 trials was successful?

Is there a better way of calculating these probabilities rather than simply summing together the combinations of success and failure probabilities?
