 * Thank you. I added "legendary" because I know that Felsenstein was legendary, but doubt that's common knowledge decades later. Any suggestion? If we drop DEFA we should at least add KOB, for those who don't associate GDR immidiately. No objections to "80". Will do qpq shortly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:57, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

 * ALT1: ... that the soprano Melitta Muszely appeared as the four women Hoffmann loves in Felsenstein's production at the Komische Oper Berlin in 1958, and still sang recitals at age 80? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:14, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * How about: ALT2: "... that the soprano Melitta Muszely, who sang recitals until age 80, portrayed all four women Hoffmann loves in the 1958 Felsenstein production at the Komische Oper Berlin?" ---  Coffee and crumbs  10:22, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Not so happy for two reasons, wrong chronology, and I'd prefer the thing first for which she will be remembered. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:42, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Created on March 11 (9 days before nom). New enough thru minor evocation of IAR for Women's Month. Long enough, well sourced (AGF for German language sources) and written with NPOV. No obvious COPYVIO issues per Earwig's. Hook ALT 1 (~173 characters) is cited, interesting, and approved. QPQ done. Good to go.--- Coffee  and crumbs  17:02, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
