Luca Salsi
Luca Salsi in 2010
- ... that Luca Salsi (pictured) was recognised as "baritone superman" when he not only stepped in at the Metropolitan Opera in Verdi's Ernani, but also performed there the same day in Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor? Source: five reviews from different countries
- ALT1: ... that in 2023, the baritone Luca Salsi (pictured) portrayed Verdi's Macbeth opposite Anna Netrebko at the Berlin State Opera, in the 2018 production by Harry Kupfer? Source: several
- ALT2: ... that in 2023, Luca Salsi (pictured) portrayed Verdi's Macbeth opposite Anna Netrebko at the Berlin State Opera, as an "ever stronger ambitious usurper"? Source: [1]

to come - Comment: The hook about the 2 operas one day would read in full "... that Luca Salsi was recognised as baritone superman by the international press in April 2015 when he not only stepped in on short notice for Plácido Domingo at the Metropolitan Opera in an afternoon concert of Verdi's Ernani, but also performed the same evening in Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor as planned." which is too long. Help? - The short hook about recent news is perhaps even more interesting, because there were protests in front of the opera house, not because of him but Netrebko. To feed our broad audience. To get a feeling for the production (then with Plácido Domingo, - again) see YouTube - full length, but a glimpse will tell the atmosphere of what may be regarded as Kupfer's legacy. - I am sorry I missed this nom by a day, busy both here and in real life. It was long enough from the start.

- @Gerda Arendt: Please provide a QPQ as soon as possible. Z1720 (talk) 02:06, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
- I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Thomas Henry Sparshott, the daughter's article. - I wanted to make sure first that this nom would be accepted. There has been a tendency to find boring what opera singers do ("just doing their job") and another to be picky about nominating in time, but I'd be pleased to learn that trends are over. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:07, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
Full review needed now that QPQ has been provided. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:13, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Technically just outside newness criterion, though I'm happy to overlook this, and certainly long enough; arguably a bit too long to lack level 3 headings, but that's not a DYK issue. No maintenance templates found, no neutrality issues found, no copyright issues found. Every paragraph has a cite, as does ALT0; you don't need five cites for a single claim, and I'd like to see some publishers in the cites, but again, not a DYK issue. Good to go.--Launchballer 10:27, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you! - The five cites are there to support "international". They also may be interesting, and can't be used for other facts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:40, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
