Talk:Artaxerxes (opera)

Copyright concerns[edit]

This article was created by a serial copyright infringer, and I have evaluated it as part of the clean-up effort for that. I have made several "hits" to sources I cannot view. I am blanking this while inviting contributors who may be able to access the potential sources to compare. For one example, I find the text, "...received a documented one hundred and eleven performances before 1790. The young Mozart almost certainly attended a performance..." in this subscription only source. And I have made hits to pages 219 and 222 of the 1992 The New Grove dictionary of opera. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:12, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is very close paraphrasing scattered throughout the article from at least one online source that I can access, e.g .http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/al.asp?al=CDA67051/2. I'm pretty sure, given the main contributor's track record with plagiarising synopses, the one here was taken from a previous version of the Classical Opera Company site. The synopsis is now password protected), but it may re-surface in the printed programme when Classical Opera put on Artaxerxes at the Royal Opera House later this month. To revert to the only known clean version, would leave a tiny stub [1]. (Other edits after that by anyone other than the serial infringer were only minor copyedits and formatting of the material he added.) I'm writing a completely new version of the article at Talk:Artaxerxes (opera)/Temp. A new synopsis won't be hard to write. See [2] (public domain).

Update: The new version (Talk:Artaxerxes (opera)/Temp) is basically complete. Could an adminstrator please transfer it to the article space? Voceditenore (talk) 18:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any mention here at all of a staged performance of Arne's Artaxerxes I still remember seeing in St Pancras town Hall in a St Pancras Festival in the early sixties. The staging was fairly homespun but the singesr were more than fairly reputable for the time. If there IS any surviving evidence of this event I'd love to know where to find it. I suppose it may well have been in 1963, to commemorate the two hundredth anniversary of the premiere. It may very well have been the first modern London revival2A00:23C7:5A0B:8601:86F:19F4:CB5D:5590 (talk) 18:02, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
