"His finest work however is Giulio Cesare (1724), a tour de force of superb vocal and orchestral writing, possibly the finest opera seria of all."

This appears to be POV. Should it just be deleted, or can it be fixed in some way?

It's definitely POV. If someone said it and can be sourced, it could be included as a quote. Antandrus (talk) 03:35, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The age of opera seria

This section could, I think, be better organized. It seems to over-emphasize Handel at the expense of other composers. Some of the material might perhaps be moved to the page on Handel.

[edit] Category "Opera seria"

Isn't it uuseful to have the "opera seria" category for this article? People who browse the category page might find it useful to see a link to this article, right? Cheers, Matthias Röder 08:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes. This article is linked to Category:Opera seria and I have put a link here as well to the category. -- Kleinzach 09:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Excellent! Maybe I should have checked before annoying everyone! Sorry... Matthias Röder 09:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My revert

I reverted this edit, as I don't think such a list is really suitable for this general article on opera seria - might I suggest a List of aria types as preferable? BTW, I hope my fairly recent revamp of this article is OK with everyone. Moreschi ^{If you've written a quality article...} 14:25, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
