This article is just about new enough and is just about long enough! The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. I have added ALT1a because ALT1 is not very idiomatic. I wonder whether the list of translations in the article needs a reference? A QPQ needs to be done.

Thanks for looking and the ALT. Will do qpq and refs later today, just a comment: "revived" isn't really the word, I'm afraid. The curious thing is that in 2019, it was sung in German AT ALL, opera tending to use the original language, but here the theatre arguing that Smetana had written it for a German libretto. All too much detail for the translator's article, but we need a different word if we don't want to be misleading. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:36, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. I have removed the word "revived" from ALT1a. Any of the hooks could be used. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:44, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
