La finta pazza

(

)

... that upon its 1641 premiere in Venice, the opera La finta pazza was performed 12 times in 17 days?

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: - the hook is supported by the reference cited at the end of the paragraph (on page 97), but under the rules here an extra cite is needed for the sentence about the number of performances.
Interesting:
Other problems: - your hook's fine; however, I think this being the first opera ever to be publicly performed in France is much more striking. Would you consider that instead? (I can source that claim, of course)

QPQ: Done.

Overall: It's an excellent article, nice work! I'll make some suggestions on the talk page there, but not until tomorrow. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:11, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! I didn't go with the first French thing because it seems to be unclear whether it was the first or the second. Perhaps being performed for 7-years old Louis XIV could also make a good hook? Fram (talk) 08:25, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are interesting and cited inline to a reliable source, the article is neutral, and I detected no close paraphrasing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:21, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
