message: The French original of the libretto is set in Tyrol, so are the Italian translations that I have found such as that from RAI, but the Italian Wikipedia says that the Italian version is set in Switzerland, see also here]. Any comments?  Andreas  (T) 15:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Tyrol or Switzerland? 

message: The article claims many "lesser tenors" do not sing the nine high Cs, but instead hit Bs. Is it possible to have some evidence, or examples? What exactly is claimed here - that they just have a tendency to sing flat, or deliberately opt to sing Bs instead, which, to my mind, would sound wrong musically, unless the whole song was transposed down.

message: The synopsis appears to be close to a word-for-word duplicate of the Metropolitan Opera's synopsis at http://www.metoperafamily.org/metopera/history/stories/synopsis.aspx?customid=440. Neither page cites the other, and I can't immediately see which came first.

replies: text: Halmueller, thanks for spotting that. I've had a look and it is almost certainly copyvio. This version of the synopsis was added in a single edit of very well-written prose (a strong indicator of copy-paste) by an anonymous IP on 20 May 2008 . On 21 April 2008, the Met had opened a new production of the opera designed by Laurent Pelly, with Juan Diego Flórez as Tonio which ran through May 2008. The last time Fille was performed there had been in 1995. I'm reverting to the version of the synopsis prior to 20 May 2008. Voceditenore (talk) 07:01, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Fixing two dangling modifiers in §  Act 1:
In paragraph 2, last sentence, after "[Tonio] runs back to join [Marie]":
:, he proclaims his love for her ...
"Skeptical as to why Tonio has returned" appears to refer to the subject of the sentence ("he"), meaning that Tonio is skeptical about why he has run back to her. I don't think so. If anyone is skeptical, it should be Marie, but because of the sentence's placement in the paragraph — after she tells him that before proposing to her, he must gain the approval of the soldiers of the regiment, who collectively adopted her as an orphaned infant — this doesn't seem right either. I'm deleting the phrase.
And in paragraph 3:
:, the soldiers are horrified, but agree to his pleading for her hand.
Of course the soldiers aren't proclaiming Tonio's love and being horrified at what they're saying. Changing the dangler to "When he proclaims his love for Marie".

message: I just heard a nationwide broadcast of the 2018 Beijing (National Centre for the Performing Arts) production of Fille in which tenor Yijie Shi (Chinese style: Shi Yijie) encored "Pour mon âme" and sang 18 (glorious) high Cs. It was aired by the WFMT Opera Series . I can't find any English-language reportage of the feat (possibly it wasn't widely heard in the Anglosphere until today), but here is the 2018 announcement of the production  and here is the video of the segment , and here are videos of the entire production  . Do you think we could mention this feat in the article? Apparently attending a 2007 performance of Florez in the role was a seminal experience for Shi .
