Juanita Lascarro

Created by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 11:23, 15 July 2022 (UTC).

  • New enough and long enough. QPQ present. (Note to Gerda Arendt: Colombia with two Os (I see it's rendered with a U in German and that the Oper Frankfurt made this same error, and I note that Columbia/Colombia trips people up in English a fair bit), which I've fixed in article and hook.) We don't have many articles about Colombian opera singers on enwiki, as this is just the third (and the first about a woman), and I think this nudges this up the interesting scale a bit. Facts in the hook check out to the various sources in the article (using Google Translate to cover the German). Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 00:54, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
    Thank you for the review and especially fixing my Germanic mistake. Its frequent in opera that one singer has two roles, but mostly for the minor parts. I wonder if, for the understanding of our general readers, we should link the characters, but think on the other hand that Penelope is known enough as the wife of Odysseus, just will they recognise the Italian name, that is the question. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:36, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Alt1... that Colombian singer Juanita Lascarro became a soprano of the Oper Frankfurt, where she appeared as both Calypso and Penelope in a new production of Dallapiccola's Ulisse?
Changing up the hook as I promote it. --evrik (talk) 22:28, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
