Adriano in Siria[edit]
... that the libretto Adriano in Siria by Metastasio was the basis for more than 60 operas between 1732 and 1828?

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook has two citations, one to a book that I can't access and the other to a book page that mentions the libretto but not the number of operas in which it was used. I did find that information on a different page of the Google book however (page 152), but not the date 1828. I could AGF the date, especially as the operas are listed below, but could not pass this nomination while the article suggests that France was about to declare war on Austria in 1992 :-) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:20, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for that, typo now corrected. War between France and Austria in 1992 was narrowly avoided by the Maastricht Treaty :-) I divided the Alonso ref into three separate ones to point to the right page instead in each case. I added the URL to the second source, you should be able to access it now. The 1828 date comes from the article itself, if you prefer you can use

The article is now satisfactory. It is neutral and I detected no copyright violations so good to go with ALT1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:10, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
