[edit] This month's composer: Jacques Offenbach

I have already done some initial work on the individual opera title articles. Perhaps it's worth explaining?

i've made stubs where necessary, extracting all the basic information from the Grove articles by Andrew Lamb. (There wasn't a lot there). I've also made 'wikitables' of the roles, including when possible the role creators, usually with information from the French pages.

What we need now are synopses, sections on recordings and illustrations.

The Second Empire social/historical background to Offenbach is fascinating. Unfortunately we have few articles on singers of the period and also the theatres. These exist in the French pages. I wonder if we can find some translators?

[edit] Notes

1. This scheme does not use sub-categories such as: Fine arts, Applied arts, Spatial arts, Plastic arts etc etc, which may be difficult to define.

2. The list of items in each of the four main sections is open-ended. For example, Kabuki currently has only one article, but if there is sufficient interest and individual articles on Kabuki plays are written, then it could and probably should be added.
