- This is a drive-by comment, but the current hook is really niche and does not really appeal to a broad audience. Can something else be said about Motte other than him composing an opera? Perhaps something about his education career? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:01, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
- Relatively few composers write an opera these days, fewer get it performed, and even fewer get it performed at such a house. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:07, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 15:20, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
