Clotilde Bressler-Gianoli

[edit]
  • ... that when Clotilde Bressler-Gianoli appeared as Carmen, with "the allurement of sheer wickedness" according to a reviewer, she was accidentally stabbed?

  • Article new enough, long enough, and within policy. Cannot detect any copyright violations. QPQ is complete. Hook fact is sourced, and is interesting. My issue is with the wording of the hook, which is rather confusing (sorry!). I'd rather not propose a new hook myself, because then you'd need a new reviewer. I'd suggest omitting the quote, or finding another way to present it, and to use the phrase "as the titular character in" to clarify that it's both an opera (which is what it links to) and the character in it.

Thank you! You may reword a hook, without needing a new reviewer, as long as you don't use additional facts. The quote is quite unusual, and I would not know how to say that better. "title role" is the term, but I don't think we need it, it doesn't really matter what kind of piece by whom. People who don't know that it is an opera by Bizet can learn that reading ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:00, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
I'll take a stab at it (ha!). Penny Richards (talk) 16:01, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
  • ALT1... that Clotilde Bressler-Gianoli played the titular character in Carmen in 1907 with "the allurement of sheer wickedness", and was accidentally stabbed on stage?
GTG, I would say. I've made a minor tweak to the hook for clarity. Vanamonde (talk) 06:35, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
