Red links[edit]
I put a few artists in red links because they already have a number of links in other articles, so it is hoped that the links will become blue one day. Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:17, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
LuLing / Ruth[edit]
This is a nice start. The recurrent characters are better characterized as a trio, just as they introduce themselves in the opera's prologue. LuLing is portrayed at different times by two different singers--either separately or in tandem--representing her at different ages; but she is still one character.

- That's how I understood the sources I read. Unfortunately, this is almost impossible to convey in a simple "List of Roles" because those two roles also have the surname Young; this then results in a potentially confusing role description where the reader is asked to distinguish between "Young" (the name) and "young" (the adjective).
- It would be great if the article could be expanded with an explanation of this work's ideas. Michael Bednarek (talk) 03:15, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
OK, I changed the plot synopsis and clarified the dual roles of the lead mezzo, in the table. See what you think.Meticuliz (talk) 01:11, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
