... that ballerinas and sisters Lorena and Lorna Feijóo once split the two lead roles in Swan Lake, which are usually portrayed by the same dancer? Source: "The sisters performed publicly together for the first time last year in "Swan Lake." It was a sold-out, one-night-only performance in which Lorna danced Odette — a princess who is human at night, but turned into a swan during the day by an evil sorcerer — and Lorena danced the role of Odile, the sorcerer's daughter. One dancer usually dances both roles." ([1])

Interesting hook! I looked at Lorena, detailed, well-sourced, no copyvio obvious. I'll probably look at the other later today! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:08, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I'd add that from Cuba and danced in the U.S. to the hook, for exoticism ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:10, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Now I looked at both articles, and am ready to approve. Perhaps we can improve the hook? I think "White Swan" and "Black" Swan" would connect more to the story. When I saw the ballet first, the two were different dancers, - not sure about "normally", - perhaps "often", or no explanation. In the Lorna article, you have a "now", - can that be avoided, or given a year? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:11, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I rephrased that sentence in Lorna's article. Somehow I can't find when did she retire and when did she start the school. As for Swan Lake, it is a convention to have the same person portray both Black Swan and White Swan, especially in major ballet companies, but there are exceptions, so "usually" might be a better word?

Thank you, I like that better but leave the other in case a prep builder needs something short. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:15, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
