[edit] Somebody Help

I have no idea why, but all operas between "1893" and "1898" are randomly invisible. They're written, but they don't show up on the page. This is very frustrating, and it means "La Boheme" is missing. Somebody help! --Thepinterpause (talk) 13:46, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Somebody didn't close some reference tags properly when using named refs, tags need to have /> at the end, or anything up tot he next closing tag is treated as being part of the reference (and only the text of the first occurence is actually shown. David Underdown (talk) 14:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Some operas in the late 1700s are also missing. The culprit appears to be this edit: [1]. For instance, Don Giovanni is no longer in the list... ugen64 (talk) 23:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Same thing - I think I've caught them all now. David Underdown (talk) 09:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why only to 1991?

Why only to 1991? Please take some references from really new sources like "Mille et un opéras" (Kaminski, 2003). I can't imagine a list of most important operas without "Licht" (1981-2004) by Stockhausen. I think now that Boesmans with his new operas (Julie, Yvonne) is also noteworthy. Or Eotvos for example. --91.196.28.168 (talk) 13:26, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

The list is not based on individual opinions of what is important, but was compiled using these criteria, which are quite specific. Additions require mention in 5 reference works. It would be worthwhile finding 4 more recent reference works in addition to Kaminski (2003) in order to add later operas. Voceditenore (talk) 13:59, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Barber of Seville?

Not important enough? 184.151.63.252 (talk) 18:17, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

It's listed here under its Italian title, Il barbiere di Siviglia. Voceditenore (talk) 18:56, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Les Misérables?

1985, Les Misérables (Claude-Michel Schönberg)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.203.177.97 (talk) 10:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Les Misérables is a musical, not an opera. Voceditenore (talk) 12:40, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
