*Salammbô (Soprano), Hamilcar's daughter
*'''Delete''' This one is close for me, but I don't think its notable enough (yet). A web search turns up about 500 hits [http://www.google.com/search?hl=xx-elmer&c2coff=1&q=%22Crane%22+%22*+ninth+day+*+creation%22+-wikipedia&btnG=Seawch], its Amazon sales rank is 206,000+ [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0967571294/qid=1128547165/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-7386658-2343323?v=glance&s=books&n=507846], and it has no google news results. --best, kevin <font color="#BBBBBB">·</font><font color="#666666">·</font>·<small>[[User:Kzollman|Kzollman]] | [[User Talk:Kzollman|Talk]]</small>·<font color="#666666">·</font><font color="#BBBBBB">·</font> 21:27, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
*Shahabarim (Tenor), High Priest of Tanit
*'''Delete'''I think this is inappropriate for wikipedia. If this sort of shameless self-promotion disguised as information isn't nipped severely and immediately in the bud, the wikipedia will be about as informative as FOX news.
*Narr'Havas (Basse chantante), King of Numidia
*'''Don't Delete'''- It gives a good plot summary of the book
*Giscon (Bass), Carthaginian general
*Mathô (Tenor), Lybian mercenary
*Hamilcar (Baritone), Carthaginian Suffete
*Spendius (Baritone), Greek slave
*Autharite (Bass), Gaulish mercenary
*Taanach (Mezzo-soprano), Salammbo's servant
==Setting==
*Place: [[Carthage]]
*Time: 240 BC

*'''Do not delete''' - state run internet police should not be allowed to censor free societies media. There is nothing wrong with the posting it is accurate and informative. This is cutting edge SF topic with the combination of both emerging economic shifts and biotech advancements. It is deserving of its placement not because of its demand but because of its relevancy, no different than the copy of "The Coming Plague by Laurie Garrett" has a place in the public library though it has only been signed out once. It is precisely this kind of self promotion that makes WIKI so powerful. Detailed essays criticizing the book can be posted and linked. Thus creating a much more informative reading choice than you would get by simply browsing to Amazon or even the public Library. Again large state run internet police organizations, posing as students, should not be allowed to censor or even make suggestions as to what is or is not appropriate material for WIKI.
In [[1863]], [[Modest Mussorgsky]] also started writing text and music for an opera based on Flaubert's novel, but he never managed to complete the work.
For the film score of [[Orson Welles]]' ''[[Citizen Kane]]'', [[Bernard Herrmann]] wrote an aria for the fictional opera ''Salammbô'' performed by Kane's wife.
Contemporary French composer [[Philippe Fénélon]]'s ''Salammbô'' was first performed in the [[Opéra Bastille]] in [[1998]].
