Giovanna Gray
edit
- ... that the appearances of Maria Malibran (pictured) in Nicola Vaccai's opera Giovanna Gray marked the last time she performed at La Scala?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Woodland House
- Comment: The hook is in the third sentence from the end of the section titled Premiere and reception. Note this is a very obscure Italian opera (a colossal failure at its premiere) and the only detailed sources are all in Italian. I have included the original Italian wording in the relevant references. The article uses short footnote citation. The complete bibliographic information and links to the sources are under the Sources sub-heading in References.

quality article, Italian sources accepted AGF, interesting hook. The free image needs to go to the opera's article, unless you want to use the one in there now. It would look better in small size, but she looks too young ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:10, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
- In that case, I've switched the one in the hook for the one actually in the article (the one in the white dress). I'd rather not change the one in the article, as it echoes the white dress worn by the lead character in Act 3. There is only 3 years difference between her age in the two paintings. She died very young. Voceditenore (talk) 10:44, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- Note about Main Page scheduling Could this possibly be held over until March, Women's History Month? See also Wikipedia:WikiWomen's History Month. The opera is about an historic female figure, and the woman mentioned in the hook was a famous historic singer. Voceditenore (talk) 11:01, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- agree to holding and the pic (removed duplicate) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:05, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
