 * Symbol question.svg Article requirements check out, QPQ done, assuming good faith for German sources. ALT2 is probably the best hook among the three proposals, though I'm not sure if the mention of "a small stage" is necessary: why not just simply say something like "when Gerd Heinz directed Wagner's Der Ring in Miden, he focused...". Another issue is that his date of birth lacks a footnote in the lede or the infobox. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:42, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
 * More later, just for the small stage: that's what causes and makes possible the psychology. It's short for: unlike other theatres, the stage is so small that the orchestra sits on it in the back, while the singers are in the front, right where the audience is. This is normal for plays, but unusual for opera. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:12, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Narutolovehinata5, ref for DOB added, was there, just not at the spot. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:06, 19 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Symbol voting keep.svg Okay, I think that should address my concerns. I've struck ALT0 as not being hooky, and ALT1 for being inaccessible to general audiences, leaving ALT2 as the only approved hook. I will leave it to the promoter if they want to keep the "a small stage" wording in the hook or not. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:23, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
