Wikipedia has a surprisingly long and interesting article on the word "cholo," so I've linked to it, but the word is a tricky one to translate. I know that "of mixed blood" is better than "not purebred," but there might be a better translation out there. I'm open to suggestions. I just don't want to make this (background) paragraph too much longer than it already is. Thanks for any help. ForDorothy 23:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New York performance history

Half the performance history now relates just to New York. This is unbalanced. We need to prioritze the original premiere and give equal weight to local premieres elsewhere. - Kleinzach 04:55, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I've been wondering what to do about this, too. It's particularly annoying because of the cavalier way in which the opera was treated there (maybe it should all go into a Trivia section!). Given that most of the named Met participants have their own articles, the info on how many performances they sang, etc., could be removed to those articles and the whole thing cut down to a couple of sentences. --GuillaumeTell 09:55, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes, that might be the best solution. - Kleinzach 10:14, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
