This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. The image is appropriately licensed. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:14, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook is dropping a lot of German-language titles that most English-speaking readers will just pass over. The English translations are actually very catchy:
ALT1: ... that Udo Zimmermann (pictured) composed his fifth opera, The Wondrous Cobbler's Wife, based on The Shoemaker's Prodigious Wife, on a commission for the West German Schwetzingen Festival? Yoninah (talk) 22:07, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

There's a lot of repetition now, sorry, + misses that "wundersam" is a rare word in German sad to miss for those who do read German.

ALT2: ... that Udo Zimmermann (pictured) composed his fifth opera, Die wundersame Schustersfrau, based on Lorca's The Shoemaker's Prodigious Wife, on a commission for the West German Schwetzingen Festival?

It's not true, though, because it's based on Lorca's La zapatera prodigiosa, which is not the same as its translation. The hook is about this East German composer being invited to the West, and actually the titles of the opera and the play don't mater at all, + I doubt that Lorca's play is well known (4 views yesterday), and a tagged article, - we could really also say

ALT3: ... that Udo Zimmermann (pictured) composed his fifth opera, Die wundersame Schustersfrau, based on a play by Federico García Lorca, on a commission for the West German Schwetzingen Festival? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:40, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt and Yoninah:, I'm promoting ALT3 because it makes more clear the play and I think giving the name in German is most appropriate. StudiesWorld (talk) 12:30, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

As Gerda Arendt has reminded me, this was out of order, therefore I will tick it and leave it for someone else to promote
