A few changes

Lilith89ibz - I've made a few changes to the article - most significantly, I merged the two sections about the roles he has played, since it wasn't clear to me what grounds we'd have for differentiating between 'highlights' and other roles - let me know what you think.

Hi Girth,

The distinction is mostly about the relevance of the venues. The Metropolitan Opera and Teatro alla Scala have a bigger significance in an opera singer's career than, say, the Dallas Opera. They were also older debuts, that's why I didn't include them in the recent debuts section. It's not a big deal if you don't think they need to be separated, up to you!

Thank you again,

Hi Lilith89ibz - I see where you're coming from, but remember what our aim is in writing any article - all we are trying to do is to reflect what reliable sources say about a subject. To justify a separation like this, we'd need sources making the distinction for us. Take a look at WP:OR, especially the section on WP:SYNTH for more on this. I'm glad that you're happy with the article in its current state - feel free to ping me if you want to discuss any other changes, but remember not to change it yourself given your COI.
