Another Brick in the Wall: The OperaAnother Brick in the Wall—The Opera – There should be an em dash in the title, not a colon. This can be observed on the Opera de Montreal original production website, the Cincinnati Opera production website, and in the body of numerous news articles like this Entertainment Weekly one and this Playbill one.

  • Very weak oppose: 1) the poster art shown in the article doesn't use any punctuation mark at all, so the punctuation doesn't seem to be very sacred, 2) sometimes the punctuation is used rather inconsistently or the self-published dash is extremely long for artistic effect or has spaces around it, 3) we ordinarily apply our own styling guidelines to titles of creative works (e.g., MOS:CT/MOS:TM/WP:TITLETM) rather than using whatever decorative punctuation we find in self-published sources produced by those who produced a topic, 4) several of the cited sources do use the colon (even within their headlines), 4) my impression is that it is more common and understandable and ordinary in English to use a colon to set off such a subtitle/disambiguator/clarifier. —BarrelProof (talk) 03:55, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per WP:TITLECHANGES. There is no particularly prevailing style for this, and sources using colon include Rolling Stone, Radio.com, BBC The Globe and Mail and NY Times. I also agree with BarrelProof's other points. No such user (talk) 11:37, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
