Overtures

Perhaps someone cleverer than I could mention that the alterations made to the beginning opera required overtures in different keys (from C to E if I recall correctly). Constan69 (talk) 08:58, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

questions

Okay I don't If I'm the only person to notice this, but as a person who has never seen the Opera and is using the synopsis as a sole source, it would appear Rocco wants Marzelline and Leonore to be married...but they are both women (?) I do not think this would appear in an opera then. Somebody please reread the synopsis and revise/correct/clarify —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.237.230.2 (talk) 03:15, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Connection to Eyes Wide Shut

This opera gets mentioned in the motion picture "Eyes Wide Shut" as the password for the high class New York City sex party that Tom Cruise attends midway through the film. As this was the last major work of Stanley Kubrick, a simple sentence regarding this in the article should do no harm. However, it was removed using a very uncivil edit summary. The proper thing would have been to discuss it here instead of calling it "total rubbish" (see WP:CIV). Is there a legitimate reason for keeping this out? -OberRanks (talk) 05:25, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, might not need to worry about this after all since its listed on the disambig page. -OberRanks (talk) 05:29, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I have no comment about the edit summary, however I have to agree with Viva-Verdi that Eyes Wide Shut shouldnt be placed in this opera's "see also" section. I do not see any connection whatsoever except for some small part of it - Jay (talk) 05:34, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, no connection and no longer really an issue since its already on the disambig page. I didnt realize that at first. -OberRanks (talk) 05:37, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Does someone have a problem with Klemperer's 1962 recording?

The entry for Klemperer's 1962 recording was deleted here and again here . Bizarre. --Kleinzach 06:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Now another recording has been deleted, --Kleinzach 09:34, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Leonore's voice-type

Leonore is a role for soprano OR MEZZO. For instance, Christa Ludwig, Gabriela Beňačková, Gabriele Schnaut--extremely successful Leonores, all mezzos.
