[edit] Notice

Past discussion on use of this list versus use of Category:Operas by title can be found at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera#Category:Operas by title. --BaronLarf 13:25, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

I have removed two modern Chinese operas from the list as the genre is totally different. In any case two works can scarcely represent Chinese opera which is a rich field in its own right.

[edit] Missing Titles

Some missing titles: Loreley, Oberon, Le postillon de Lonjumeau, Risurrezione, Le roi malgré lui, Sakùntala, Il segreto di Susanna, The Seven Deadly Sins (Die sieben Todesünden), Si j'étais roi, Sly, Der Vogelhändler, Where the Wild Things Are

This is a hand-made list (unlike the category operas list). How can we keep it up to date? Any ideas?

What, exactly, is the point of this list? Does anyone know? The discussion alluded to above isn't exactly helpful, IMNSHO. --GuillaumeTell 00:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I asked myself the same question as GuillaumeTell. Isn't Category:Operas already there, which, as I understand, contains automatically all operas with articles (if the articles contain a reference to that category)? Michael Bednarek 05:48, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps we have to consider how this list functions in the overall structure of the opera articles? At some point the Opera Corpus list should become a public, rather than a opera project, page. Will this one then be redundant? It could be marked up for deletion, however there are some much weaker opera pages still in existence, e.g. the dubious, biased List of famous operas and the random List of notable opera companies and indeed the Opera page itself.
