Merge with Glyndebourne?

This duplicates the article on Glyndebourne. Kleinzach 20:39, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well the festival and the house are two distinct things, but both articles clearly mix ; besides they seem short enough to be merged into a single, middle-size article.

I have used both of them, as well as other sources, to make a French article on the festival and the house alike. It is more complete than this article, so French-speaking editors here might translate or use some parts to complete it. Also, the German article de:Glyndebourne is longer than the English and the French ones about the house. Keriluamox 12:39, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When I first saw the articles I thought they had been done separately by accident, but later I found it was intentional. Often separate company/house articles make sense, though in this case it's more or less the same thing. It sounds as if you would be an ideal writer for the English article! If you need an English editor, i would be happy to oblige! - Kleinzach 13:08, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that they should be kept separate. The Glyndebourne article will change little over time though it could mention the new statues and other changes to the garden every year. The Opera is something that happens at the house and on tour. The opera page could contain details of the operas shown in each season, which ones are on DVD, etc. Reesmf (talk) 14:39, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Change of Name proposal: from Glyndebourne Opera Festival to Glyndebourne Festival Opera

In preparation for expanding the opera festival article, I discovered Glyndebourne. While I won't discuss the need for merger here (as I think there may be enough material from various sources to expand both), we do need agreement on the proper name of the article.

Everything I read say "Festival Opera", not the other way around, so I'd like to change the article name.

Does everyone agree? Vivaverdi 20:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very odd article!

I've made some corrections, but this article needs a very great deal of work (which I'm unable to engage in just now). First, the sentence about Mozart includes the dread words "are considered the finest ever done", not recommended WP style (WP:PEACOCK). Second, why on earth is Porgy and Bess the only opera mentioned by name, and in unnecessary detail at that? Something to do with the Featured Article business, I suppose, but it sure unbalances the already vestigial article. I resisted the temptation to delete all of this.

OK, maybe I'll try to do something quite soon (sigh!). --GuillaumeTell 21:50, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it's an odd article the way it stands. It should really be about the company and productions, etc., so needs a lot more fleshing out.

The Glyndebourne article focuses on the house and theatre, but that needs work too. I'll get to it asap, but this is a busy summer for me at the Santa Fe Opera.

Vivaverdi 23:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My inclination is to make the Glyndebourne article about only the history and architecture of the house and the development and rebuilding of the physical theatre. There has to be a little overlap with this article (I agree: company and productions is what it should deal with), but it should be as minimal as we can make it. I'll try and get this going during the next week. I have lots of books and programmes with information that can be used in both articles. So much to do - so little time! --GuillaumeTell 00:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

... so? ... and 3.000 others. Of course not the works that require a big stage and orchestra. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:36, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just like the operas never performed at the Arena di Verona, for example:

Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro, Così fan tutte and The Magic Flute
Verdi's Falstaff
Weber's Der Freischütz
