Talk:The Barber of Seville
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Beaumarchais and the Rossini works should be separated and put on two different pages. This is mainly about the Rossini.

I agree with Kleinzach; I was redirected to the Rossini opera page after typing in the original French title of the Beaumarchais play. Sobekneferu 09:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I disentangled the play from the opera last month but seem to have missed the redirect from Barbier de Séville and Le Barbier de Seville to here (both now fixed). If you'd typed Le Barbier de Séville, you'd have got to the right place. --GuillaumeTell 10:40, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Factotum
I've usually seen factotum translated into English as "Man Friday."
"During a performance of The Barber of Seville in Cincinnati in 1952, four audience members died suddenly during Act II. Rossini was held for questioning and subsequently released." This makes no sense. Can anyone find a source on this? Roscelese 14:22, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- I've removed the comment from the article page. As you say, it's nonsense. Figaro 15:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Marriage of Figaro
Why isn't Mozart's opera mentioned in this article as the sequel? Barber of Seville is mentioned in the Figaro article.. just thought I would ask first before putting it in somewhere.
- No need to ask - be bold! --GuillaumeTell 13:19, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Noted Arias and Duets
Does anyone else think this section is redundant? Markhh 08:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
