Note that for now some of the Rossini librettos can still be accessed from the list on this page on Karadar, but it will require adding those new links to the articles, and I'm not sure how long it will be before Karadar closes that loop hole. Anyhow, here's the list of operas so far where I've removed dead links and there is currently no other alternative. It's also possible to recover some of the karadar links via the Wayback machine, as was done at L'éclair, although it's a bit fiddly. If you add a new link, just strike through the opera name(s) below. Voceditenore (talk) 16:55, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Help! Does anyone know how to access Karadar these days? It appears to be a dead link - and I've tried to get into it via a couple of ways. Viva-Verdi (talk) 16:15, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Viva-Verdi. It appears to have disappeared in all its guises–.com, .org. and .it. I have a feeling they ran into copyright problems with some of their stuff. It's not showing up on Google searches at all and see this wacky note. I have found this other site which has links to zillions of libretti. Hopefully, you'll find the one(s) you're looking for. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 18:06, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's disappeared again. All links now redirect to this site. I'm keeping an eye out to see if the almanacco re-surfaces, but so far it's nowhere to be found on the new site. Grrrr! Voceditenore (talk) 15:49, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I shall be working through as many as I can manage. Just would feel odd to me to get this wonderful release and not do a restoration to celebrate what made the archive, y'know? Adam Cuerden(talk)Has about 7.5% of all FPs09:24, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think Rossini and Pacini are a little early. There was a Belfagorimage, but it was a mislabelled Il Piccolo do Haydn. We can hope the real Belfagor is uploaded in the next batch. Adam Cuerden(talk)Has about 7.6% of all FPs17:16, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Belfagor is on the list for next. Adam Cuerden(talk)Has about 7.7% of all FPs
I recently clicked on a link at List of operettas for Dellinger's Don Cesar and ended up being redirected to The Don CeSar hotel in Florida. Apparently we were missing an article on this work which was apparently significant in its day (I don't know it). Additionally, given how many Don Cesar stage works of varying kinds have been written, I was surprised the hotel was the target page. I knocked off a quick stub at Don Cesar (Dellinger) to fix the operetta issue, and then created a disambiguation page at Don Cesar. @Gerda Arendt Given that this work was apparently hugely popular in Germany (no idea if it is still performed there) maybe you could assist with expanding this with German language sources? @Ssilvers This was apparently a really popular operetta in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Maybe you could help expand as well? This could probably make a good DYK for the three of us. Be a nice way to start 2025. Any other project members who want to jump in are also welcome. Also, feel free to add anything I missed to the dab page. Best.4meter4 (talk) 21:57, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am going to be quite busy for a few months and am not inclined to work on this. After you and Gerda are finished with it, I'll be happy to look it over. I see that this source has something about it, but the preview cuts off at page 674 and clearly continues with more about it on the following page(s). -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:51, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
