General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - ?
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - ?
Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was created on December 3 and nominated within seven days. Length is adequate, and the article is neutral in tone. No plagiarism issues detected. Proper attribution is noted on the talk page for translation from the German Wiki. No images are used in the article. QPQ requirement has been completed. The hook contains a link to Berlin State Opera, but I cannot find that anywhere in the article to verify the hook. The introduction is too short and needs a couple more sentences. There is a citation needed tag in the article to address. Flibirigit (talk) 20:01, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review. The opera house had many names in history. When she was there (GDR times) it was Staatsoper Unter den Linden, but that was long and all German. The present German name is Staatsoper Berlin. I think for Main page purposes, we should these German politics out, and just say it in English. Berlin State Opera might also work, but I guess that readers would miss the East Berlin fact, which made appearances in the West something special. Few artists from the East were allowed to travel. - If you need more lead, please be patient. I had to take care of a Recent death (Paul-Heinz Dittrich) yesterday, and saw another one coming, - unplanned. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:20, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, please comment here when ready. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 23:49, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Flibirigit, please look again. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:39, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination now meets all DYK criteria. The hook is properly cited and verified and the change in name of the opera house has been clarified. Flibirigit (talk) 15:18, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
