Talk:Opera

Why is Il Trovatore left out? --Old Dickens 15:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Because I don't know enough about opera to get'em all. Put it in by all means Iron Hippo 15:26, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Fixed it -- Iron Hippo 15:32, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh. I supposed you were doing it because you were an opera fan. Bloodaxe & Ironhammer is much like "Tristan und Isolde", too, although the story's mixed with "Romeo and Juliet" (Gounod.) --Old Dickens 18:36, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Was Chicken Lake described as an opera? {Ballet might be mounted at the Opera House, too, but it ain't opera.) --Old Dickens 23:49, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

It is "pretentious high-brow culture" so I thought it would fit right in. Ballet as part of an opera or a performance of just ballet; same pretentious audience. --Iron Hippo 06:09, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Should maybe think about changing opening paragraph to Opera and other pretentious culture. I'll mull it over--Iron Hippo 06:22, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Nanny Ogg joins the chorus line of ballet dancers employed by the Opera House and there's an early reference to Bucket complaining about the fabulous cost of ballet shoes, so ballet is definitely on the repertoire at the OH AgProv (talk) 18:21, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Stub begone!

I dropped the stub, it's mostly done. Sound off if you think otherwise Iron Hippo 02:30, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Lohenshaak

Here's me only noticing the resemblance to loan shark. No imagination. --Old Dickens 21:47, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I assumed Lohenshaak…

… was a take on Lohengrin, and Love Shack. However, I then sounded it out and got Loan Shark. Considering that the swan sings "Schneide meinen eigenen Halls…" ("cut my own throat…") and Sir Terry's penchant for multiple puns, I'm guessing: all three. :D
