[edit] Assessment

Almost a B-class article. Just needs a little more background, I think. -- Ssilvers 22:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Is it OR to mention that the early Alfredo/Teresa/Ultrice scenes are based off of l'elisir with a dash of Dulcamara? Adam Cuerden ^talk 22:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but there *must* be a reference that notes the connection to l'elisir/Dulcamara. Go ahead and write it, and then put in a reference when you see it. Also, note that all of the Sullivan operas, except for Zoo, C&B, and Rose, and all of the Gilbert works except Bab Ballads and Engaged, are being rated at "Low". -- Ssilvers 23:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, surely not! I mean, The Mikado at Low priority? Adam Cuerden ^talk 00:25, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I was excluding the G&S operas from my previous statement, wiseguy!  :-) -- Ssilvers 00:53, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
