Talk:Amilcare Ponchielli

Date of Death
We show him dying on 16 January. Sources seem divided as to whether he died on 16 or 17 January.


 * 16 January –, , , , , etc


 * 17 January –, , , , , etc


 * This has a bet each way, referring to both 16 January and 17 January.

On the other hand, Nicolas Slonimsky, usually an extremely reliable source, says he died on 15 January.

So, where to now? Can anyone cite an authoritative reference that will decide this? -- JackofOz (talk) 08:21, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Point about I Lituani
The article on Amilcare Ponchielli said, until I edited it, The article on I Lituani said, with sources, until I edited it  While performances as Aldona make sense to me, the assertion was entirely unreferenced, and contradicts the Ponchielli article, so I have deleted it (but left it as hidden comment).

Perhaps someone who actually knows the subject can edit both articles to say whether the opera was well or poorly received, include performances as Aldona if that happened, and to explain the renaming. Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 11:24, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
