Not a genre?

[edit]

Hi all,

I hope no one objects to the extensive changes I have made to this page. I tried to expand and update the information, and I also renamed it. Please correct anything you see that needs fixing. S.dedalus 00:10, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The changed article reads nicely, but offers no evidence that Science-fiction opera exists as a recognized genre, let alone a commonly understood term. Why not go the other direction and move the page to List of operas with science-fiction themes? Sparafucil (talk) 11:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The list title sounds better to me. I don't think anyone considers opera to be a genre of SF, and opera genres are split according to music, not theme (i think). And it is much more feasible to source descriptions of "having a SF theme" than to find people calling works "SF operas". Yobmod (talk) 10:59, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree: this is not a "genre" of opera, just a list of operas with science-fiction themes. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:06, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
