Kristīne Opolais

 * ... that on 5 April, Kristīne Opolais went to sleep at 5am and was awoken at 7:30am and asked to sing a different lead role in another Puccini opera at The Met in New York, two debuts inside 24 hours?

 * Symbol question.svg a good start, on good sources! Having said that I confess a bit of personal interest in the topic, - see her husband's name in my personal images, and the drama of 2012 remembered in Lucy Crowe. Another singer appeared today, the review missed private life. This is about the opposite. We hear twice when the couple met, and most of this is also in his article. Please give us a bit more music, reviews, a feeling for her voice. The story is interesting, but told a bit too much in detail for my taste ;) - Article: you will manage to get the Czech composer's name with the proper accidentals, and write a bit more lead. Hook: same. Readers don't want to do math, - the heading of one source does a good job, you could use that: "Soprano Kristine Opolais makes Met Opera role debuts as Cio-Cio-San and Mimi within day". You can pipe-link Cio-Cio-San. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:56, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the detailed and helpful comments, all of which I hope I have addressed in my rewriting and expansion. As you suggest, I've come up with a simpler ALT1 hook:


 * ALT1 ... that soprano Kristīne Opolais made two Met Opera debuts, as Puccini's Cio-Cio-San and Mimi, within a day? Edwardx (talk) 10:40, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Excellent! Tweaked the hook mentioning Puccini ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:06, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
