- ... that opera singer Virgilio Lazzari (pictured) was described by music critic Harold Rosenthal as "one of the best singing actors in his particular repertory"?

Thank you for another interesting person, on excellent sources. The image is fine, and licensed. The hook: it doesn't tell the average reader what his repertory or voice type is. I almost think saying that he was the MET's leading bass from to would be more interesting. Article: please go over the operas and supply at least a composer's last name. You and I know who wrote La bohéme but the others ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:51, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- Ok. I'll add the composers as suggested.
- Alt1 ... that opera singer Virgilio Lazzari (pictured) was a leading bass with the Chicago Civic Opera from 1918–32 and the Metropolitan Opera from 1933–50?4meter4 (talk) 20:30, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- Good approach. Will you get rid of the boring figures, just say more than three three decades? and perhaps mention Leporello which seems to be something like his signature part? if characters permit, a hint at acting? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:09, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- Feel free to craft an alt hook. I am happy with the ones I proposed. Best.4meter4 (talk) 21:11, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- If I craft, I can't review ;)
I can approve the two. - Will you do a few more composers? You don't have to overdo it, though: only the unlinked last name if you have a link to the opera, to avoid a "sea of blue", - a linked full name only if the work has no article yet. Example: Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor. So said Voceditenore. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:59, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
