Once again we have trivia items being added to this article. My understand of past thinking on this is that trivia should only appear on musical works articles if it is likely to be of interest to readers of the page. Other references belong on the ''other'' page, e.g. The Tintin information belongs on the ''[[The Castafiore Emerald]]'' not La gazza ladra, because it is likely to be of interest to Tintin readers not to Rossini readers. This is really just common sense, but for guidelines see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Opera#Trivia|Trivia]]. --''[[User:Kleinzach|<span style="color:#FF4500;letter-spacing:2px;">Klein</span>]][[User talk:Kleinzach|<span style="padding:0px 0px 1px 2px;color:white; background-color:#ACE1AF;letter-spacing:2px;">zach</span>]]'' 02:05, 11 December 2008 (UTC) |

I have to disagree violently with the above comment. Personally, I greatly enjoy so-called "trivial" information found in articles concerning serious subjects. In fact, that is the beauty of Wikipedia: the wealth of information not commonly known about various subjects. Look at it this way: just put everything down that is known to be true, or is verifiable, in the articles. Who are you to decide what I should or shouldn't be interested in? Don't censor or edit what I get to read, let me be the judge of that of what I'm interested in. If it's not interesting, I'll just skip it and read on.[[Special:Contributions/65.81.79.71|65.81.79.71]] ([[User talk:65.81.79.71|talk]]) 16:21, 20 February 2013 (UTC) |

Death Threat?
There is a story that Rossini received a death threat for the "offense" of beginning the overture with a drum roll! Does anyone know if there any truth to this? Kostaki mou (talk) 01:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Why title lower case?
Why is this title (of an opera) not capitalized? Nickrz (talk) 21:03, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- This is a complicated subject. Have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Opera/Article_guidelines#Operas:_capitalization_and_diacritics. I'll be happy to discuss it with you. --GuillaumeTell 00:17, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
