Helena Braun
... that when Helena Braun visited New York "just for the trip", she sang at the Metropolitan Opera on four hours' notice, standing in for a soprano who had laryngitis?Source: "Helena Braun, who came to this country just to be with her husband, Ferdinand Frantz, while he made his debut last week at the Metropolitan Opera, made her own debut there last night. She sang [...] at four hours' notice. Helen Traubel [...] was scheduled to sing, but word came from her doctor yesterday afternoon that she had laryngitis."

Date, length and hook all OK. QPQ done and no close paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 00:12, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Can we please say that she didn't step in for something minor, but Brünnhilde, which is about one of the hardest things? I believe that's more interesting than the specific illness of her colleague. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:05, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- That's fine with me. DanCherek (talk) 21:19, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

- @The C of E: Thank you very much for reviewing this a while back! Do you mind giving a quick look at ALT1 above as an alternate hook? DanCherek (talk) 21:19, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
