Why is ''Il Trovatore'' left out? --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 15:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

:Because I don't know enough about opera to get'em all. Put it in by all means [[User:Iron Hippo|Iron Hippo]] 15:26, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

::Fixed it -- [[User:Iron Hippo|Iron Hippo]] 15:32, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh. I supposed you were doing it because you were an opera fan. ''Bloodaxe & Ironhammer'' is much like
"Tristan und Isolde", too, although the story's mixed with "Romeo and Juliet" (Gounod.) --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 18:36, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

:Was ''Chicken Lake'' described as an opera? {Ballet might be mounted at the Opera House, too, but it ain't opera.) --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 23:49, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

::It is "pretentious high-brow culture" so I thought it would fit right in. Ballet as part of an opera or a performance of just ballet; same pretentious audience. --[[User:Iron Hippo|Iron Hippo]] 06:09, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
::Should maybe think about changing opening paragraph to Opera and other pretentious culture. I'll mull it over--[[User:Iron Hippo|Iron Hippo]] 06:22, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

== Stub begone! ==
I dropped the stub, it's mostly done. Sound off if you think otherwise [[User:Iron Hippo|Iron Hippo]] 02:30, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

==Lohenshaak==
Here's me only noticing the resemblance to ''loan shark''. No imagination. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 21:47, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== I assumed Lohenshaak… ==

… was a take on Lohengrin, and Love Shack. However, I then sounded it out and got Loan Shark. Considering that the swan sings "Schneide meinen eigenen Halls…" ("cut my own throat…") and Sir Terry's penchant for multiple puns, I'm guessing: all three. :D
