I'd vote for Verdi and Schiller to continue to be shared, on the Les Mis precedent. (I'm also not sure whether there are different tags for the various incarnations of, say, The Three Musketeers, despite the characterisations - and even the stories - sometimes being widely different, and I don't think, say, Richelieu has a separate tag for the historical character as opposed to Dumas' depiction.)
From a purely selfish perspective, I hope the sharing with the historical counterparts continues because that means some opera/play fans might read my Catherine de Medic & Daughters story as well. ;) Good point about this being more like Hamilton than like Reign, too.
(This reminds me: the stories written for Shakespeare's history plays certainly share tags for the historical people, despite there being a gigantic difference as to whether you go ith good old Will's Yorks and Lancasters or, let's say, other versions...
She suggested adding disambiguating subtags with French for opera, and German for Schiller? and subtag to the historical character? This would probably be the most transparent for people in the opera/play fandom!
This idea I like very much. And yes, hats off to the tag wranglers in general, and all their hard work!
