Major problems with this list

[edit]

I have done considerable clean-up here:

  • Removed multiple links to dismabiguation pages or to the wrong works or wrong people. Please test each link in future additions
  • Formatted the titles per the WikiProject Opera aticle guidelines
  • Removed "operas" which are described as "rock" or "pop" operas. Opera lists do not include these genres.
  • Formatted listings for consistency. In some cases multiple operas by the same composer were listed separately, in others they were listed horizontally. I have formatted all to separate listings. The dates of the premieres (where available) were also inconsistent — sometimes right after the opera, at others after the composer. For now I have listed them all after the composer.
  • Corrected a few glaring errors — most notably for Juan Trigos. "Hemofiction Opera" is not the title of an opera. It is a genre invented by Trigos and his father. He claims that his opera, De cachetito raspado, is written in this genre. Note also that he uses the Spanish term, Ópera de Hemoficción. The term "Hemofiction Opera" is only found in his (self-published, and dreadful) machine tanslations. This is one of the problems that result from lists compiled (or copied, presumably from here?) without adequate research or referencing.

I have tagged this list for poor (basically non-existent) referencing. I have also written an explanatory note at the top of the article to the effect that for most of the works listed, there is no claim that they have been performed or even published. A list consisting almost entirely of red links without adequate references is profoundly unhelpful to the reader. There is no way (even within Wikipedia) of verifying whether or not these works have ever been performed, what their correct titles are, and whether they actually are operas, let alone notable ones.

Without a date for premiere, publication, or even just completion, it is impossible to put the list in chronological order. This not only goes against the guidelines at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lists of works), but is also very misleading to readers.

I strongly suggest that future editors work on referencing and dating the current entries, rather than adding yet more dubious entries.
