- Comment: I know the hook is too long, and we haven't mentioned yet the workers' choirs, three founded groups for the Berlin broadcaster, the Berlin State Opera, the Halle Handel Festival with a Handel revival ... - The Monteverdi is sensational for those who know a bit. Harnoncourt's didn't appear until in the 1970s. GRuban, any pic for this highly public figure?

Article is long enough and new enough. Correct people credited. Neutral in tone it is also referenced. No copyright problem. QPQ is done. No pic. You are right the hook needs to be shortened as it is 211 characters. The phrase "from its beginning" is mentioned in the article lead, but it is unreferenced and not mentioned in the main article body. Otherwise the hook facts are referenced. You don't need to tell the whole life story in the hook, so I suggest that it is shortened as well as picking an interesting highlight to mention. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:51, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review! These are interesting highlights with interesting contrasts.
- ALT1: ... that Helmut Koch, who conducted Monteverdi's L'Orfeo in 1949, continued the tradition of the Berliner Singakademie in East Berlin from 1963?
- I thought Monteverdi and Eisler were kind of quirky together, but am too tired to struggle for it ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:59, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- How about dropping out one phrase from your original to get alt0a... that Helmut Koch, who conducted Monteverdi's L'Orfeo in 1949, taught at the Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler", and continued the tradition of the Berliner Singakademie in East Berlin from 1963?
otherwise Good to go with alt1, as it is 136 characters. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:13, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, like ALT0a as well. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:40, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
