The sypnosis is a bit confusing... :( Is it a precise version?

Perhaps a list of characters and an overall plot synopsis at the beginning will work.

I'm reworking the synopsis. I agree, there's some confusion, and some important details have been left out. Also grooming prose and details, (e.g. "di Luna" instead of "Luna'), on the basis of OSborne's book. Herbivore (talk) 02:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ferrando and Fernando

I noticed that someone edited "Ferrando"'s name and changed to "Fernando" with message "Wrong spelling"? To avoid being edit again and again, I put both names there. It pronounced "Ferrando" and also written as "Ferrando" in the Il trovatore libretto but some articles and opera pronounced it as "Fernando". For reference, please go to Il trovatore Ferrando role I vote for "Ferrando" but it depends on you guys. In the meantime, I just leave it as 2 names - Jay 07:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Ferrando is definitely correct - this is the form of name that appears in all opera reference books and on all recording liner-notes. It may look like a misprint for Fernando, but it isn't. --GuillaumeTell 00:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, it seems like we have to monitor the name from time to time to avoid people from changing it again. Ferrando is definitely correct as written in the libretto. - Jay 02:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

The article is on my watchlist (I added Template:Verdi operas to the article), which is how I came to see the above, so I'll be able to spot any reversion to Fernando. But why don't you add it to your watchlist, too. --GuillaumeTell 16:12, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No need for "Noted arias" section when all on the list have been incorporated into the text of the synopsis

Have reverted re-installian of that section.Viva-Verdi (talk) 02:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Noted arias section in all opera articles will be deleted after the list have been incorporated into synopsis as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera/Article styles and formats - Jay (talk) 06:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
