Talk:Spanish opera/Archive 1

This needs a complete re-write
It's full of inaccurate generalizations, and errors of fact. Voceditenore (talk) 12:25, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * It's much better now. Still needs work on some of the more modern Spanish works, as well as stuff on Spanish opera in the Americas. Voceditenore (talk)


 * Thanks. I agree. This is not an area that I specialize in though so I am not sure I feel comfortable doing it. A mention of some of the major opera houses in Spain like the Liceu and the Teatro Real might also be appropriate. Nrswanson (talk) 15:26, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Assuming we add info about South America, is it worth moving this to Opera in Spanish per Opera in German? --Folantin (talk) 15:49, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not so sure about changing the title yet, on thinking about it. Perhaps this article should take a slightly different tack from Opera in German, especially given the relative paucity of non-zarzuela operas in Spanish. Perhaps this article should concentrate more on an overview of the history of and current state of the opera 'scene' in Spain and plus a bit about its colonial exports. Maybe it would better to see how the article develops and re-visit the naming issue? I wish we could get that nav box turned into a horizontal one so it could be put at the bottom of the page. It's (a) ugly (b) full of non-informative red links and (c) makes the placement of much better illustrations difficult. Voceditenore (talk) 11:52, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree with everything you have said. Why don't we design a similar template to go at the bottom of the page.Nrswanson (talk) 12:08, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and created a new template and implemented it.Nrswanson (talk) 12:52, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * A great improvement, thanks! I do have some further suggestions about the template which I've made on Template talk:Spanishmusic. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 14:35, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
