Category talk:Operas by Franz Liszt

Necessary?
Is this category really necessary given that Liszt only wrote the one opera? M A Mason 15:04, 23 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree that it looks odd, but you'll notice that the same could be said of a number of similar categories (e.g. the ones for Adamo, Bartok, Beethoven). There's a technical reason for this connected with the use of Bots for routine tasks - see the first item in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera/Archive 22.  It's also the policy of the Opera Project - see [].  I can go into it further if you like! --GuillaumeTell 18:10, 23 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey thanks for clearing that up :) M A Mason 18:32, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Liszt actually made sketches for a second opera to. it's called Sardanapale (S.687) --Funper 12:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Worth mentioning in the Franz Liszt article - as is Don Sanche, which isn't mentioned there - but almost certainly not notable enough for a separate article. --GuillaumeTell 17:37, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Neither, it's Sardanapale. But why would't it be notable? Because it never has been performed? Surely the history of the opera is of enough interest. If I ever get my hands on anything about it, I'll make an article unless it's strictly forbidden. --Funper 00:22, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Be my guest. Grove says that there's 111 pages of it (and it looks as if my edition of the Viking Guide has got the title wrong). Also that The Legend of Saint Elizabeth was performed as an opera in Weimar and at the Met. --GuillaumeTell 10:49, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
