Orpheus in the Underworld is a comic opera composed by Jacques Offenbach with a French-language libretto by Hector Crémieux and Ludovic Halévy. It was first performed as a two-act opéra bouffon at the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens, Paris, in 1858, and was extensively revised and expanded in a four-act opéra féerie version, presented at the Théâtre de la Gaîté in 1874. The plot is a lampoon of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in Greek mythology. In this version, Orpheus is not the son of Apollo but a rustic violin teacher. He is glad to be rid of his wife Eurydice when she is abducted by Pluto, the god of the underworld. Orpheus has to be bullied by Public Opinion into trying to rescue Eurydice. The reprehensible conduct of the gods of Olympus in the opera was widely seen as a veiled satire of the court and government of French emperor Napoleon III. This photograph depicts Jeanne Granier as Eurydice and Eugène Vauthier as Jupiter in the form of a fly as part of the 1887 Paris revival of Orpheus in the Underworld.

"Most populous city proper in the world"

Isn't Chongqing considered the most populous city proper in the world? I know the area of Chongqing is much larger than the actual "city", but what standard is being used to classify Chongqing as not a "city proper" while Shanghai is? —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 07:18, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Yes you're right. somebody has to update this. RayAdvait (talk) 07:24, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

It depends on how you define a "city". I think a city is supposed to be defined as a built-up area (without too long distance between two buildings). If a city is defined as a built-up area, the most populous city in the world is Tokyo (which includes Yokohama-Saitama-Chiba) followed by Jakarta and Delhi, while New York, however, is the largest city by area.

The most populous city in China, as well as the 4th most in the world, is Guangzhou including Foshan, while Shanghai is only the second most populous and Beijing the third most.

P.S.: You are supposed to pronounce it [sháng-hai] and not [shanghái] as most European people seem to be used to say. In Chinese it is pronounced [sháng-hai], and therefore it should be pronounced so even in English. 212.100.101.104 (talk) 21:51, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Most populous city in China?

Is it accurate to describe Shanghai as the "most populous city in China"? Alexysun (talk) 10:23, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

@Alexysun Yes, it is. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 10:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

@CanonNi Wow that was a fast response. So it seems that Shanghai is the most populous "urban area" in China, while Chongqing is the most populous "city proper". Any thoughts on what that means relative to the definition of "most populous city"? Alexysun (talk) 10:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

I think (and could be wrong) that both definitions can be used when describing its population. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 10:37, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

@CanonNi I see. I guess there can be a "most populous city" when only talking about the urban core and also a different "most populous city" when you add in the suburban areas surrounding the urban core. Alexysun (talk) 00:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Issue under Society > Gangland Problems

The content in this section do not seem to be very credible. The content is clearly riddled with emotion, I was so shocked to see this on a wikipedia page for Shanghai.

E.g.: "Pacific Digital in Xujiahui is a local snake in Xujiahui, Shanghai . It has been selling fakes to cheat consumers for many years. Because it has the Xujiahui Police Station of the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau as an umbrella, consumers have no way to defend their rights after being frauded and may even be beaten by mall staff." 138.75.86.160 (talk) 09:56, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Huangpu listed as another name

Huangpu usually refers specifically to the Huangpu River or Huangpu District, not the entire city. Calling it another name for Shanghai would be like listing Manhattan as an alternate name for New York City. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 03:54, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Society section

I noticed that the article was quite large (at over 12,000 words) and this might be attributed to an unsourced "Society" section that was added to the article post-GAN. Should this section be removed? Z1720 (talk) 20:06, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
