Talk:La traviata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Un di, felice, eterea

I removed the lyrics to "Un di, felice, eterea" and placed them in an article of their own, as I belive that they do not belong on the page about the opera.

[edit] Arias

Could it be convenient to add original titles of arias, being the way they are sung?

[edit] Setting

The program notes for the Metropolitan Opera's production of La Traviata say: In La Traviata he (Verdi) took on for the first - and only - time a contemporary play in contemporary dress...It was some time, however, before Verdi's "modern-dress" idea was put into practice. Scores up to 1914 continued to specify "about 1700." In 1896 Bernard Shaw wrote of a sight "familiar to every opera-goer.... Violetta in the latest Parisian confections and Alfredo in full Louis XIV fig." Should this be incorporated into the article?MHarris 04:21, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
