- While facts can't be copyrighted, photographs can be and the web site pointed out above has many excellent illustrations. I'm certain that any corrections or additions that Mr Walsh would be willing to make here or explicitly release under the GFDL would be welcomed, and Wikipedia is always happy when errors are corrected. -- Someone else 00:57 May 9, 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Operas for Paris
I removed the line about Scribe and Saint-George because it's hard to see how it can be made informational enough to stay. First names are not given for either librettist, and while Eugène Scribe I figured out, I can't figure who Saint-George is. Chevalier de Saint-Georges was dead some 40 years by then, but he's the only French composer I can find with that name. But if we can't say who the librettists are, what's the point of having a line that attempts to name them? I'm also gonna toss Template:1911 on the article, 'cause it's pretty much all copied and pasted from the EB. - Severinus 01:10, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

- I've cleaned up that section with the aid of Opera Grove. "Saint-George" is almost certainly Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges, but none of Balfe's Paris operas had him as co-librettist. --GuillaumeTell (talk) 17:59, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
