As for Draft:John Riesen, I am willing to help with clean-up, but no alone. Can we do it together? I reduced the image to normal size, and the tone of the lead (introduction, summary) to neutral. Can you do such things for the rest? I'll watch, and am willing to help. We'll have to do it point by point, but afterwards I think you will know how to write a biography here.
 * 1) no external links in the prose - there should be no external link to the Michigan Opera but an internal one, please check for other such things, I have my own work right now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:53, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
