New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. As sources are in German, unable to check for close paraphrasing. QPQ still needed. How about this idea for the first hook:
I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Mampuru II. It's a case of 200 chars being not enough. I believe that without "1944" the reader will not even guess that the premiere was cancelled - perhaps we should spell it out, with all the cancelled events these days? - I also think it would be eight years, and not really important. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:57, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
QPQ done. Hmm, we might have to ask for IAR on the character count.
Fine. Might we say "much later"? ... or - instead of "later" - "in 1952"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:03, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Gerda Arendt: as someone who practically lives and breathes DYK rules, I'm feeling uneasy about the growing length of this hook over 200 characters. Since the angle here is quite difficult to summarize, could you suggest another hook angle please? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:15, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Should we just go with ALT1? Yoninah (talk) 19:16, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest to drop the Swiss OR the UK then. In a situation of cancellation after cancellation, the fact that the premiere of an opera by one of the leading composers at the time was cancelled between dress rehearsal and performance (which is usually just one day) seems relevant, and then the same singer NOT asked for the premiere years later, but for these others - UK probably more relevant - all that is so unique that I don't want to say instead that the composer used to play cards with the singer. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:48, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, let's just do ALT1. Foreign language hook refs AGF (though I'm beginning to understand German) and cited inline. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:34, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
