Talk:La Vivandière (Gilbert)

Monkey quote
From libretto: That men were monkeys once&mdash;to that I bow; (looking at Lord Margate) I know one who's less man than monkey, now; That monkeys once were men, peers, statesmen, flunkies&mdash; That's rather hard on unoffending monkeys! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:49, 10 December 2010 (UTC)


 * That isn't in the libretto to which you've linked the article! Ref needed. Tim riley (talk) 20:34, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Adam C. added that to the Gillbert article. I'll chase him. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:47, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

 * I may have to go down to the British Library one day towards the end of next week! Tim riley (talk) 21:47, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

TR, see Dark and Grey, pp. 47 to 49.
 * Also, see the following, which I cannot (and don't really want to) access:


 * this article.
 * "Verdian opera burlesqued"
 * "Gilbert and Donizetti" Opera Quarterly. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:16, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

I have Dark and Grey on my shelves, and have downloaded the two articles you mention. I'll peruse and ponder. Meanwhile I am sternly resisting the urge, given the location of the premiere, to point out, irrelevantly, that Donizetti wrote an opera called Emilia di Liverpool.

 * I don't think you resisted that urge! -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:44, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
