A fact from Chopin (opera) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 August 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Giacomo Orefice's 1901 opera Chopin, based very loosely on Chopin's life, has been called "a kitsch contribution to the last vestiges of late 19th-century romanticized bohemianism"?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2014/August. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chopin (opera).

Thanks![edit]

Glad to discover this opera through DYK?. Very interesting and strange piece. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 04:28, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. If you enjoyed the article, do please read Pougin's critique which is linked in 'sources'.--Smerus (talk) 10:33, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The text of the entry "a kitsch contribution to the last vestiges of late 19th-century romanticized bohemianism" is, to me, a marvelous piece of elegant and witty writing. It, again to me, successfully emulates the style of a cynical opera critic without negating the appeal that such a work would find within the non-opera-going proletariat. The entry simply rrrolls off my tongue... Thank you, Whoosit! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.13.66.44 (talk) 10:19, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
