On the fence here and pondering

edit

putting in another 'otheruses', this for Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda (the Monteverdi scena after Tasso - works by de Wert also used these characters, not - ... I think?... - related to the Tancredi of this opera). Any thoughts though? Schissel | Sound the Note! 04:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Giudita Pasta

edit

I think it is worth to mention that however an alto role, Tancredi has been sung by the soprano Giudita Pasta during Rossini's lifetime. AdamChapman (talk) 15:55, 21 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Title Role Mezzo?

edit

Just saw Tancredi (Opera Philadelphia) with Stephanie Blythe in the title role -- wondering if there is authoritative explanation as to why this role was written for, and seems always to be performed by women? Shakespeare wrote female parts to be played by boys; was it common for early 19th century opera to do the gender-switch the other way? Sloughin (talk) 15:18, 21 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Disclosure of conflict of interests

edit

I have added a reference to the 2018 performance by Teatro Nuovo (New York). The conductor was my brother, so I have a conflict of interests, but I trust the addition will not be controversial. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 15:50, 24 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Contradiction: Portugal and its capital, Lisbon!

edit

I paste the text, and it will be self-evident for anybody with a logical mind: "Outside of Italy, it was given in Corfù (1822), Lisbon (as Tacredo) (1826), and Geneva (1828). The opera was first performed in England at the King's Theatre in London on 4 May 1820 with Fanny Corri-Paltoni as Amenaide. Its French premiere was given by the Théâtre-Lyrique Italien at the Salle Louvois in Paris on 23 April 1822 with Giuditta Pasta in the title role. It was seen in Portugal for the first time at the Teatro Nacional de São Carlos on 18 September 1822 (as Tancredo) End of quote

So, since when is Lisbon not the capital of Portugal anymore? Firedragoncharmer (talk) 23:09, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
