Science fiction banner[edit]

Is this opera really to do with science fiction? Buonafede is simply duped into believing he is on the moon. No one travels in time or space, even in a farcical sense (such as in Offenbach Voyage dans la lune). Cg2p0B0u8m (talk) 19:02, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I added the banner as part of a job lot. (I was bannering everything in Category:Science fiction operas and did not consider them individually as I took the categorisation in good faith.)

I notice that this opera gets a mention at [1]. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction is the SF equivalent of Grove and therefore the inclusion there should be taken seriously.--Peter cohen (talk) 19:42, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose there is a risk that the author of the entry I link in the SFE was unaware that this opera is a satire but a parallel case would be the mention of Northanger Abbey in the article on Gothic Fiction in the companion Encyclopedia of Fantasy. If you do want to de-banner this page, then I won't object further, but I think it should be linked to the inclusion of the category in the article.--Peter cohen (talk) 12:51, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder whether the author of the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction has actually heard the piece rather than just look at the title? I think it is misleading to categorise this piece as a science fiction. Others can decide whether to remove banners or categories, but I think science fiction fans will be disappointed... It should also be removed from this page Science-fiction opera Cg2p0B0u8m (talk) 22:22, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
