... that Sara Hershkowitz, who usually appears on the opera stage as the Queen of the Night and Zerbinetta, performed Ligeti's Mysteries of the Macabre for a crowd of 15,000 as "Donald Gepopo"?

"But my job is to hold up a mirror. To dazzle, illuminate."

New enough, long enough, well sourced, no copyvio detected, hook is neutral and article is neutrally written: fantastic work! :-) I like the hook as it is; the links indicate which operas the characters come from. Zingarese talk · contribs 20:18, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

I also believe the word "the" shouldn't be capitalized before Queen of the Night; I made a tiny change to the hook accordingly. Zingarese talk · contribs 20:24, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but "Donald Gepopo" isn't mentioned in the article. I suggest you spell it out:
ALT1 ... that Sara Hershkowitz, who usually appears on the opera stage as the Queen of the Night and Zerbinetta, parodied Donald Trump in Ligeti's Mysteries of the Macabre at the Lowlands Festival? Yoninah (talk) 23:47, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

The vs. the, - I don't know, in German "die" would be lc in a sentence, but uc "Die" in a role list. I said above that we could say it more precisely, yes fine with the full name, but do readers know what kind of a festival the Lowland is? Won't argue, just trying to get a bit of that excitement in. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:13, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

I think it's exciting enough to have an opera star parody Donald Trump. Readers can click on the hooks to find out about Lowlands. With your approval, restoring tick per Zingarese's review. Yoninah (talk) 10:25, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
