Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz

Created/expanded by Dr. Blofeld (talk), Gerda Arendt (talk). Nominated by Gerda Arendt (talk) at 13:15, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

  • Picture added, to illustrate the German theater name. ALT with less German:
ALT1: ... that Martina Koppelstetter, who appeared as Lola and Dorabella at the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz (pictured), was the mezzo-soprano to record Lieder by Rudi Spring for BR, the Bavarian radio? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:19, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Hook: Overly long, causing the reader's interest to go... fwop. Anything else? Perhaps trim "who appeared ... Staatstheater am Gartnerplatz". AGF on German sources, referenced.
Article: New enough, long enough. AGF on German references. References are thorough and formatted. No images to check.
Summary: Can we have a simpler hook? Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:45, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
  • If you need it, yes. As her main interest is contemporary that should be mentioned. The opera part would establish notability and connect to familiar opera characters. Perhaps you can word that she was a member of the theater, not just "appeared"?
ALT2: ... that Martina Koppelstetter was the mezzo-soprano to record Lieder by Rudi Spring for BR, the Bavarian radio? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:06, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
  • I prefer alt 2. Good to go! Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:20, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
