[edit] Assessment

Importance is arguable, as is class - this is either a relatively important low, or a relatively unimportant medium, and, likewise, a relatively good, referenced Start, or a fairly awful B. Adam Cuerden talk 21:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

It's definitely a "start" - It has no plot summary, cast list, textual analysis.... As to importance, only the G&Ss, Cox and Box and maybe Engaged really get up above low. Best regards, -- Ssilvers 21:10, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
True, though I've seen a few guideline pages disparaging the necessity of plot summaries. In any case, not bad for a few hours' work, eh? Adam Cuerden talk 21:26, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Work still to do

The Archive has a brief synopsis that you could refer to, and the libretto is on the archive. There may be other online sources as well, and there are the articles noted under "Further Reading." A good start, though! -- Ssilvers 22:41, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll continue in the morning. It's late and I need to rest. Adam Cuerden talk 22:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Cool. Take a look at this: http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view.php?pid=UQ:11082. Have a good night. -- Ssilvers 22:50, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Now I think if you added a good synopsis this would be a B-class article. Best regards, -- Ssilvers 00:22, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, I waited long enough, so I've gone and done it meself.... -- Ssilvers 18:09, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FP?

By the by, the image from this article is up for Featured Picture. here. Not sure if it'll get promoted - it's a vote short at the moment. But we shall see! Adam Cuerden talk 00:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
