Unclear lead

I'm not convinced the lead is particularly long enough to summarise the article, but more particularly, I don't really understand "who made a European career from Germany." The Rambling Man (talk) 08:53, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh, German articles have one line of "lead", they are only like an infobox in prose, so when you translate ... - Did you know that the Italians have a bio template that translates to the one line, instead of a box? - My problem with the singer - a red link in Bach-related articles - is that all I could find about her operatic work is that she performed all parts of her genre, - which is saying a lot and almost nothing. There are details in her memoirs about certain concerts, but not one operatic role mentioned. - The sentence you question should express that her career began in Germany (which is kind of surprising as she was Austrian) but she sang also in Europe, - better wording always welcome. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:15, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Antonie?

Looked in vain for something reliable supporting the introduced alternative first name, please help. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:47, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
