message: Some brief quotes from critics might well be substituted for some of the following text: "Some critics have described Phyllida Lloyd's Cycle as superior to that at the Royal Opera House in almost every way, although many others thought it was muddled and that its "relentlessly trivialising" approach served only to belittle Wagner's cycle. It was also poorly sung and conducted.' --Wetman 18:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The History section seems rather unfair to Balfe?  -- Ssilvers 02:08, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure Balfe would have been pleased to be called English. (Not that Sullivan had a drop of English blood, but he was born in these parts.) – Tim riley 11:20, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

message: What building was that? I remember reading about it a few years ago. It was either in Paris or in London. I don't know if its still standing. When it was being renovated in the mid-1800s a body was discovered inside one of the walls. At that time it was already at least 200 years old. --208.65.188.23 (talk) 05:03, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Congratulations to Tim Riley and all other contributors on the article's forthcoming appearance on the Main Page.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 09:04, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you, Ss, for those kind words. I have hastily added a few words about the current season to bring the article up to date, but if anyone cares to expand on them a little bit I shall not repine. Tim riley (talk) 15:56, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Could this image be used in the Repertory section?  If not, how about this one?  I note that the company has produced several Philip Glass operas including three British premieres.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:15, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Good images, but on my screen (wide-ish, so tops and bottoms of paras are not widely separated) I can't see where one would fit in comfortably. Happy to be proved wrong, though. Please be bold, as WP bids us be! Tim riley (talk) 16:55, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Had a go at this.....any thoughts? Viva-Verdi (talk) 18:46, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Good, meseems. I've resized the interior shot for consistency of layout. Tim riley (talk) 18:52, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

text: It can't be.  I have removed it and nominated it for deletion.  I also have my doubts about :File:Deborah Warner's production of Handel's Messiah for the ENO.jpg: :Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter#Concert photography says "Beware of concert photos showing an artistic stage design: such photos are not ok, as they may infringe the stage designer's copyright. Close-ups of performing artists should be fine, though."  I think this photo is in the former, not the latter, camp.  Any thoughts? BencherliteTalk 19:27, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, Tim, that's why I had not put it in myself.  I think the whole "be bold" thing is badly stated:  It should be, "if you are confident, then proceed thoughtfully".  I have therefore "confidently" put in the Philip Glass drawing.  As for the Handel photo: what stage design?  It's a nearly bare stage with a tree.  Absolutely not copyrightable under US law (as lacking any significant originality/creativity), and I'm pretty sure it would not be copyrightable under UK law.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:40, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Good! I think we've got it right now. The nice interior shot of the Coliseum may have to go if the info-box police park their tanks on the lawn. Fingers crossed we'll escape their attentions, but it's an unjust world and virtue is triumphant only in theatrical performances. Tim riley (talk) 23:23, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
