- ALT 1: ... that Antonio Cesti's opera La Dori (scene pictured) premiered at Archduke Ferdinand's court in Innsbruck and was later performed in Florence for the wedding of Cosimo III de' Medici?
- Same idea, but I think this might be a better wording. Voceditenore (talk) 13:50, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for the support ;) - I just like to keep it short and without links that detract from the "main course", per Andy's advice, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:15, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough. Either hook could be used; the hook facts are reliably sourced and have inline citations. The image is in the public domain, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:33, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
I have pulled this one from prep as the hook statement that the opera was first performed at archduke ferdinand's court could not be confirmed from the source. Gatoclass (talk) 22:21, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- Gatoclass, the source says La Dori was "his most successful opera for Innsbruck", which I understand to mean created for there. He was in service to the court there from 1652 through 1657, and the opera premiered in 1657; as it was written for Innsbruck, it would be extraordinary (and specifically remarked upon) if it were premiered elsewhere that same year before the archduke he served got to see it.

- Okay, I'll buy that. I pulled it because I felt the source was not explicit enough about the premiere, but I think you make a pretty good case. Gatoclass (talk) 23:04, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, Gatoclass; I've restored the original tick per Cwmhiraeth's original review. ALT1 was the hook that was originally promoted to prep, and I find it more interesting than the original hook. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:52, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
