[edit] Don Carlos or Un ballo in maschera?

"British production of Verdi's 'Don Carlos' that at one point imported toilet cubicles"

Is this not the famous ENO production of Un ballo in maschera??

Yes I think so. I will change it. Kleinzach 10:15, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Doubts about the title of this article

We are discussing the title on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera. - Kleinzach 10:21, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

As there have been no objections posted I have changed the title to Regietheater. This term may not be familiar to many English readers but it is explained in the article. - Kleinzach 09:13, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup tag removed

I have removed the cleanup tag after wikifying, cleaning up and renaming the article. I hope that is acceptable to all. - Kleinzach 09:20, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV?

I'll admit I'd never heard this term before I came across this article...but I was a little taken aback at how POV it sounded. I seriously doubt that this would ever be in an encyclopedia: "Stories also circulate of 'celebrity' producers who, though they cheerfully impose their 'interpretations' upon other people's operatic masterworks, are not actually able to follow musical scores and are observed in the theatre to be working from CD booklets in which the composer's original stage-directions are not reproduced." This is completely anecdotal and unsourced, and the use of cutesy little quote marks doesn't make it any better. It sounds like some sort of witty columnist, not a work of scholarship. The use of adverb phrases like "flatly disregarded" and "cheerfully impose" are inherently POV. Now, if there were any sources, at all, it would be much better. -Randomglitter 09:05, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
