 * Support He's a bit theatrical about it all; it's just a little knife in the heart; don't go on about it; you are supposed to be a big tough warrior. Belle (talk) 14:54, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Support, with two points. First, "minor" opera?  Ahem.  I can think of far minor-er ones in his output.  Second, I'd just like to note that the only time I've seen this was on video, and I swear Odabella stabbed him in the thigh instead of the chest in the final scene.  For all the difference it made. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:53, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, that depends how you're counting major and minor. Comparing it to, say, Rigoletto or Aida or La traviata, this is a minor opera, but it's certainly not an unperformable one. Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:44, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, yes, but compared to those isn't anything a minor opera? (And yes, I realize what a can of worms I'm opening up here.  Not that I care.  I'm traveling - I'm outta here before anyone can respond. :-) ) -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:45, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I think Verdi has enough on the exalted level that - for him - a "minor opera" can be a pretty high bar. For example, Rigoletto, Il trovatore, La traviata, Un ballo in maschera, La forza del destino, Aida, Otello, Falstaff. And that's ignoring a lot of operas like Macbeth and Stiffelio that are pretty near that level of popularity. Otherwise, what would count as a minor opera for him? Un giorno?

 * Which I have seen twice, actually. (My father has seen it three times.)  Maybe Alzira or Il Corsaro (which I've also seen twice, oddly)? -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:15, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
 * If there was a word for "medium-strength" between major and minor, I'd probably call Attila that. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:58, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Support A minor vote from me. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:07, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
