| A note on terminology Gilbert, Sullivan, Carte and other Victorian era British composers and librettists, as well as the contemporary British press and literature, called works of the sort that Gilbert and Sullivan produced "comic operas" to distinguish them from the continental European operettas that they wished to displace. Most of the specialist literature on Gilbert and Sullivan since that time has referred to these works as "operas" (e.g., Jacobs, Preface), though some later general books on music prefer "operetta". For a discussion of this, see Kuykendall, James Brooks. "Recitative in the Savoy Operas", The Musical Quarterly, Vol. 95, Issue 4, pp. 549–612. The Gilbert and Sullivan WikiProject has used the term "opera" consistently throughout the G&S-related articles within its scope. |

Someone just added this .mp3 file of the 1917 recording of The Mikado. I am sorry to say that I don't think it adds anything to the article and, in fact, shows the opera in a bad light. I set aside the fact that the 1917 recording is old-fashioned by modern standards and would, under the best circumstances, be unlikely to appeal to most Wikipedia readers. More importantly, this recording is of poor quality and is under-speed, lowering the pitch and causing a flat, unpleasant sound by artists whose other recordings are far more pleasing to the ear. Far better representations of the opera are readily available online. I propose that we remove this recording. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:07, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Anew production is currently being staged in Montana that aims to address problematic aspects of previous productions. I'm not sure if it merits being mentioned in the article? Matthall.research (talk) 19:16, 24 January 2022 (UTC): https://www.intermountainopera.org/the-montana-mikado[reply]
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that the in popular culture section is bloated and confusing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.92.190.170 (talk) 15:07, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
