Name
editI suggest to move this page to Violeta Urmanavičiūtė-Urmana M.K. 15:04, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Wrong singer in article.
editIt was Ildiko Komlosi, the mezzo singing Amneris who was on stage when Alagna left, and continued the duet with Palombi. Urmana played Aida, not Amneris, and her entrance came later.
Merge proposal
editA recently created article Vileta Urmana may provide a source for expansion of the current article, assuming this is a mis-spelling of the same singer's name. --Deskford (talk) 12:42, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- It's not a mis-spelling. Her name has been spelled both ways.Squillovoce (talk) 16:23, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Update
editThe article could really do with a major overhaul by someone who knows about the subject. It talks about events in 2003 and 2004 as future plans, and is in places written in unencyclopedic tone. Long lists of engagements would be better replaced with more substantial information about some of these engagements. And it needs reliable independent references. --Deskford (talk) 00:20, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Clean up
editI'm in the process of cleaning this up. Someone who is clearly connected to the subject has been attempting to repeatedly over-write the article with material from her website which is in very poor English, promotional, and basically consists of unreferenced laundry lists. Below is some material I have removed. It should only be replaced with inline citations ro support the addition and not written like a program blurb
