edit"L'elisir d'amore features three big duets between the tenor and soprano, making it one of the first operas (La traviata, Tristan und Isolde, and La bohème are others) that can be considered "duet operas"." Aside from the grammar.... Duet Operas? I'm not familiar with this term. Is anyone else? almost-instinct 09:11, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
"Io son ricco e tu sei bella"
editThe air "Io son ricco e tu sei bella" is a "barcarola", sung by Dulcamara and Adina in the first scene of the second act of the opera, contrary to what the page says ("final scene of the opera") — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.32.64.88 (talk) 11:04, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hi 93.32.64.88. I think the problem was the confusingly written bit about the tune recurring in an aria sung by Dulcamara "rewritten scabrous lyrics" which occurs near the end of the opera. I've changed the wording somewhat to make this a little clearer. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 12:44, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Six weeks or two weeks?
editI have a book Harold C. Schonberg in which the opera is said to have been written in only two weeks. Should we state that two different sources mention different data, or is one of these source much more reliable than the other to the point that the other is not even worth mentioning?
