Ludwig Zottmayr

Thank you for the article about an interesting person, Dan, interesting even if singing to mixed reviews ;) - on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I prefer the original but suggest "created" (vs. "originated") and "role" (vs. "part") as the standard terms for operas. Is that acceptable for you? - I did some copy-editing but didn't change content, so am hopefully still good for a reviewer.- ALT0a: ... that Ludwig Zottmayr, who created the role of King Marke in Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, was not the composer's first choice? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:13, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Offline sources accepted AGF. I made the GLS an online source, and can read the German which might support additional facts if wanted, - the son also has his entry on the same page. For future singers, put "lastname, firstname" in the search function, and with good look arrive at a page. You can use just the last name if unusual enough. Good to go. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
