message: Once of the recent rewrites removed my annotation that Bernstein borrowed the second theme to Brahms' Serenade No. 1 for Orchestra for the Candide Overture.  This is little mentioned, but easily verifiable - unless it's somehow believed that Brahms borrowed the theme from Bernstein.  Isn't there a place for this information?
:As I understand it, the Wikipedia philosophy is to avoid reproducing original research. If this is a documented example of Bernstein borrowing from Brahms, then by all means put it in, with an appropriate  citation. If this is something you have discovered, then Wikipedia is out of luck until you publish this somewhere. If this is only a coincidence, and not a documented example of B's borrowing from B, then you could certainly note the resemblance here on the talk page. I have done so with a similar situation in Sondheim's A Little Night Music; see the discussion page for that show and you'll see how I did it. Of course, others may well know more about how this gets handled on WP than I do...P.S., please sign your posts too!

message: In addition to the clip here, Dessay recorded a very different performance of GLITTER AND BE GAY with the London Symphony in 2006.  In that one she parodied an operatic mad scene, ending up with a scream on the A-flat above high C (practically a record high note).  It goes to show how versatile the music can be.

message: WikiProject Opera requires us to have a plot summary. Anyone willing to take on this daunting task, considering how many versions of Candide there are? --Paradoxian (talk) 05:19, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Section 3 Roles is incomplete. Some minor roles are omitted. The Wikipedia practice for operas seems to be inclusion of all the minor roles. See http://www.sondheimguide.com/Candide/82nyco.html Rdmoore6 (talk) 22:12, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
