Further reading list

Moved "Further reading" from main article to here (for further research?). They were not formatted correctly for the main article, and it is not clear whether anyone has read them. In any case, they do not appear so far to have served as sources of information for the article as it stands at this point. I feel they could be moved back to a "Further reading" section, if someone adds titles and authors, etc, but as they are now, it may be better to put them here. --Robert.Allen (talk) 08:06, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

Mignon Nevada (1886–1971), an English operatic soprano, as Ophelia in French composer Ambroise Thomas's opera, Hamlet, c. 1910. Nevada was the daughter of American soprano Emma Nevada, as well as Thomas's goddaughter, who had also written the opera Mignon in 1866, after which she was named. She made her debut in 1908 as Rosina in The Barber of Seville and performed at opera houses across Europe for her entire career.Photo: Bain News Service; Restoration: Lise Broer
