I saw that the page is "in need of an expert". I know enough about Corelli and about opera, that I might be able to be one of the "experts". He is mentioned in a lot of books and magazine articles that I either have or can get. I'd be glad to help clean up this article and will do so as much as I am able. --Bluejay Young (talk) 09:15, 7 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Photographs and Audio edit

I think the article needs to be illustrated with pictures of him in various costumes and I also think that a 30-second sound clip would be appropriate. The problem with the sound clip part is I'm not sure about fair use when it comes to clip recordings, particularly of dead people. Does one obtain permission from the recording company? --Bluejay Young (talk) 10:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

References needed edit

I noticed that there is no reference at all in this article. I put up the tag so then we could work together to improve it - Jay (talk) 08:19, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Paris debut edit

You say that Corelli made his belated debut in the Paris Opera in 1970. That is a grave mistake. Corelli sang there already in the years 1964/65 with Maria Callas in Tosca and Norma. Both were famous Zeffirelli-productions. These years at the Paris opera were very important for Corelli and on top Maria Callas had a big come-back in 1964. Tito Gobbi was Scarpia in Tosca and Christa Ludwig was Adalgisa in Norma. Corelli had a tremendous success in both productions.

Well, you can fix it, you know. Just go into the article and correct anything that is wrong. Be sure to add references from newspapers or magazines that verify your information. --Bluejay Young (talk) 15:01, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
