Should her connection to the von Trapp family be added? --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 01:29, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Hello -- Disclosure: I am submitting a list of suggested additions/clarifications on behalf of a friend who has spent much of his life researching Lotte Lehmann. Technically it is difficult for him to navigate WP, so he asked for my assistance. Any discussion that this generates will be addressed by him with my help as needed. He will make the additions, not me.
Thank you! 
He believes the following items would enhance the Lotte Lehmann article. Everything on this list can be supported  with citations if they are approved.  
# Specify her complete given names: Charlotte “Lotte” Pauline Sophie
# Reflect that she became an American citizen: was a German-born American soprano
# Mention her status as a singing actress: An exceptionable singing actress, especially in the roles as the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier by Richard Strauss and Sieglinde in Die Walküre by Wagner,
# Mention that she was equally famous and appreciated for her lieder recitals
# She didn’t make over 500 recordings: She made almost 500 recordings in both genres
# Her third career as a teacher should be mentioned in the top section: After retiring from the stage, she taught master classes internationally.
# Her status should be included: Lehmann is considered one of the greatest sopranos of the 20th century.
# In “Early Life” give the whole address of her birthplace: Perleberg, Province of Brandenburg, Prussia, Germany.
# It should be noted that Lehmann had two unsuccessful early studies: She studied, unsuccessfully, at two music schools in Berlin, where her family had moved.
# The background of her teacher that was successful should be noted: She finally worked with Mathilde Mallinger, Wagner’s first Eva in Die Meistersinger, who used more natural methods to allow Lehmann’s voice to blossom.
# Provide the actual dates of Lehmann’s start at the Hamburg Opera: After a year and a half with Mallinger, Lehmann won a beginners’ contract with the Hamburg Opera in 1910, where she began in the roles of pages and other minor roles. [her first performance there was NOT as a page in Lohengrin]
# Add reference to starring roles and finally of Elsa: The absence of the soprano scheduled to sing Elsa in Lohengrin allowed Lehmann her first acknowledged success. She’d been coached in the role by the young assistant composer at the Hamburg Opera, Otto Klemperer. 
# Clarify how she moved from Hamburg to Vienna: In 1913, Hans Gregor, the director of the Vienna Court Opera, came to Hamburg to hear a tenor, but noticed Lehmann and offered her a contract. 
# Clarify how Lehmann began her Vienna career: Lehmann began her Vienna career with a trial opera appearance in 1914. Her full seasons at the Vienna State Opera began in 1916.
# Remove the mention of the Trapp Family Singers as it has has little or nothing to do with Lehmann’s career.
# Add her first appearance at the Met.
# Add a list of some of her important students, such as Grace Bumbry.
# In the paragraph “prolific author” add the exact date of publication of her first book; and the names of some of the books mentioned: She also published More than Singing (1945), on the interpretation of song and My Many Lives (1948) on the interpretation of opera roles.
