Created by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 18:19, 12 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Cecelia Hall (mezzo-soprano); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Article is new, long enough and neutral. It is referenced with sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports very few text similarity, commenting "violation unlikely". The hook is well-formed and interesting. Its length is within limit. Its fact is accurate with inline sources. QPQ is missing. I will approve after the QPQ issue is addressed.

• The hook has been temporarily pulled from prep pending some issues with sourcing raised at WT:DYK. The article will be repromoted once the issues have been addressed and the nomination is re-approved. Courtesy ping to reviewer CeeGee and promoter AirshipJungleman29.

• Concerns have been raised about the interest and wording of the hook in the WT:DYK discussion so suggesting two simplified versions:

ALT1 ... that American mezzo-soprano Cecelia Hall portrayed the lead male role in Mozart's Ascanio in Alba?

ALT2 ... that American mezzo-soprano Cecelia Hall portrayed the lead role in Mozart's Ascanio in Alba at the age of 15?

• Comment. I don't think the Ascanio in Alba opera is particularly hooky as trouser roles are typical rep for all mezzos. There are many other trouser parts that she has performed in looking at her rep, so why that one? It's a rather obscure opera, and the most interesting thing about it is Mozart's age which has nothing to do with Hall. I would suggest

Alt3 ... that American mezzo-soprano Cecelia Hall made her professional opera debut as Massenet's Cinderella while still an undergraduate student?
