Thank you for the review! I'll sleep first, - past midnight here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:11, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

I'll now do the easy ones, those that need no discussion, marking them above hoping that it's ok. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:10, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Done, other points will have to wait a bit.

 * Character role: I gave it a link but it may not be perfect. In opera - as I understand it - it means in a rather narrow definition roles where acting is more important than singing.
 * Teaching is not personal life. Perhaps I can find students.
 * I like headers short.
 * Her place of death is not (yet) known. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:33, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Fair enough on those points- I've struck through those that have been addressed. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 19:17, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Herodias and character: I worded that closer to the source, - hopefully not too close. It can't be said as a quote, because of the sentence construction. - We could also drop it, but at the end of her career, that would be a bit dry ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:34, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Mahagonny: well, OperaNews isn't The New York Times, and Mr. Goldmann with no full first name not the authority that Allan Kozinn has. It was the only review of that performance I could find, and I like it. It's the one time I saw her on stage, DYK? The other time I heard her live was in the Christmas Oratorio, with a boys choir, - the only woman as her soprano colleague had fallen sick, and was replaced by three boys, - unforgettable. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 25 July 2023 (UTC)


 * 1b: I tried the template, but British (for European subjects). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:08, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

 * About the recording: the review of a new recording says "As far as I know, the only previous recording is the 1989 Hamburg one available on Capriccio, conducted by Gerd Albrecht with Josef Protschka and Gabriele Schnaut leading a strong cast." - That tells me that she was in the first recording, no? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:23, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

The image was kindly added by Storye book. It's not known when it was taken, the typical promotional shot for a singer. Storye book, could you perhaps provide a caption, and alternate text? If not, I'll try. Also: can you perhaps find something about private life? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:11, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I have added a caption for the image. As I said in the edit summary, you are welcome to adjust the likely date (or remove it), because it is guesswork. I have searched but cannot find more information about her private life. I am only able to search UK sources, and UK sources are very parochial, I am afraid. You will need to search German newspaper obituaries yourself (I don't speak German, sadly.). Good luck! Storye book (talk) 09:06, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, helped I think. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:59, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Wow, you've done a lot of work on that. Respect. Storye book (talk) 11:52, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
