Performances in Israel

It has been disputed (somewhat rudely, by User:Critter beach) that Wagner remains unperformed in Israel - and he deleted the para which says so without any reference (in doing so deleting the genuine reference to the reception of Barenboim's concert). If there is any evidence of Wagner's operas being staged in Israel it would be nice to have that cited--Smerus (talk) 09:50, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Might be worth mentioning that Barenboim played the Tristan prelude as an encore after a debate with the audience.--Peter cohen (talk) 10:45, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

German Pronunciation

I believe that there is an error with the IPA spelling of Richard, which uses [x] rather than the [ç]. Does anybody know if this an exception?

The current IPA is based on this source. Do you have one that indicates otherwise? seresin ( ¡? ) 23:29, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's a mistake, check : Wikipedia:IPA_for_German. I made the change. x is pronounced after a, o, u and au, otherwise is ç. 65.93.172.223 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:19, 27 February 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Dating of Ring Cycle operas

The correct dates for the Ring Cycle operas are as follows:

Das Rheingold - music composed 1853-1854, first performed in 1869. Die Walkure - music composed 1854-1856, first performed in 1870. Seigfried - music composed 1856-1871, first performed in 1876. Gotterdammerung - music composed 1869-1874, first performed in 1876.

"First performance" is generally the date used. Tedickey (talk) 10:34, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
