Talk:The Gondoliers

message: I think we should delete the Martyn Green quote that is in the Martyn Green treasury.  Green says that this story was told in a theatrical weekly.  It seems apocryphal, and I wonder if Green checked this source.  I like Green's descriptions of his own expericences, but his 2nd hand stories are suspect.  Ssilvers 13:09, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

message: ...If someone else would like to expand out the song list, like I'm doing for the other operas, I'd appreciate it - I know there's lots of uimportant divisions in 1, and quite a number of major divisions to other songs beyond just the Act I Finales, but, in all honesty, Gondoliers just isn't an opera I know well enough to be working on the song list easily.

thread_title:  Stock Company Act? 

message: According to this site, the title of the last song in Act 1 is not "Then one of us" but "Regular Royal Queen". https://www.gsarchive.net/gondoliers/html/royal.html
Is the title definitely "Then one of us"? Thanks, Mattmm (talk) 13:04, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yet here they simply don't give it a name. Using a google book search (I don't have a copy of the libretto on hand) "Then one of us will be a Queen" brings up references to the song, whereas "Regular Royal Queen" brings up the lyrics. So, I've changed the title to "Then one of us will be a Queen", which is also the name on the D'Oyly Carte CD I have. Loggie (talk) 13:55, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regular Royal Queen 

message: Currently, two of the categories on the page are "Spain in fiction" and "Operas set in Iberia." I'm not sure either are correct and would suggest their removal.
Act I definitely is set in Venice, Italy.  Act II is set on the fictional island of Barataria, whose location (aside from across the sea) is never defined.  Yes, Barataria was a creation, originally, of Cervantes (a Spaniard), but this is (or may be) a different Barataria. The Duke of Plaza Toro is Spanish, but none of the action takes place on his own turf. Shsilver (talk) 17:14, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed and done.  It's not set in Iberia, and it's not really "about Spain", even though there are six (if you count Luis and his mom) characters from Spain.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:28, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
