[edit] Discussion

Which operas are "the characters of Terlina, Susanna, Constance, Martha and Lucia" from? Should Terlina be Zerlina? Is Susanna the Mozart? And Constance? Costanza?

Yes, Terlina should be Zerlina - the original text says Terlina, but all other sources say Zerlina (from Don Giovanni). Yes, according to the other sources both of those roles are Mozart, Susanna (the Marriage of Figaro) and Constance (Abduction of the Seraglio). Lucia is from Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor". The Martha character is from Flotow's "Martha", which Sembrich appeared in. Some confusion can be caused by the Flotow opera - the opera is called Martha, and in the opera the character Sembrich plays assumes the name Martha in the opera, but her "real" character name is Harriet. Anyhow, I'll note this in the article. Mr. Know-It-All 16:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. The Mozart character is Konstanze (we don't Anglicize proper (role) names - there are guidelines at the Opera Project). I'll make the correction for you. Incidentally there is a lot of interesting info available on Sembrich if you want to develop the article. She made some very early recordings. etc.
