Comment[edit]

I'm not dead sure what a "partial counterpart" might be in any context. Méhul's operas, Euphrosine et Coradin (1790) and Stratonice (1792). according to Columbia Encyclopedia were the first to be called 'opéra comique" for having spoken dialogue rather than recitative. True? --Wetman 23:40, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Attempt at speedy deletion[edit]

I see this was put up for speedy deletion. Why was that? It's a short article, but not a minimal one and a large number of articles link to it. --Klein zach 23:14, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was a troll. --Folantin (talk) 23:16, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

?[edit]

What's the matter with this article? It's all over the place. Will attempt some fixes soon. --Folantin (talk) 15:24, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

'Foreignchar' hat note for é[edit]

The foreign accent hatnote for the 'é' in 'opéra' - "The title of this article contains the character é. Where it is unavailable or not desired, the name may be represented as Opera comique." - seems rather silly to me. Is there a history to this? Or can we just remove it as a bit of bureaucratic lunacy? Maybe someone knows more about what is going on than I do? --Klein zach 09:27, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've remived several of these spammy excrescences. I agree, there is no basis for its being there. (See Talk:André Campra for a discussion of this matter). --Folantin (talk) 09:41, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
