Talk:Tri sestry (opera)

A Russian opera
I think, this being an opera supposed to be sung in Russian (and done in the premiere already), that the article name should show that. The most recent performance had it Tri Sestry, the publisher calls it Tri sestry, both names are fine. Graham? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:39, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't know ... it's an opera based on a work with a common English title, sorta like Hansel and Gretel (which is the only well-known example that comes to mind here). Probably a good idea to get consensus on this point from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera. Graham 87 11:13, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hansel and Gretel reads funny to me ;) - That one should be in German without discussion, only I have no time for arguments, same as Der fliegende Holländer, the only Wagner opera with an English name. Off for today, but need to nominate the sisters for DYK. Project opera goeds for native names, see all the Italian and French operas. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:46, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * You'll find that the Opera Project's guidelines on names, WP:OPERATITLE, don't necessarily favour native titles. Where it's standard practice to use an English title, Wikipedia uses that, too. If the standard name for this work is Three Sisters, it should be used here. If it's Tri sestri (I don't think nouns are capitalised in Russian), we should use that. In either case, REDIRECTs will ensure readers find it. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:37, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Spelling of character names
We should use the English spelling of character names. Suggest we adopt the names used in Three Sisters (play). Jmar67 (talk) 11:53, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Which name specifically do you want to change? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:37, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
