- Reason
- A nice picture with good provenance - painting by one of the original set designers for the opera - that illustrates the key final scene. Available in cropped and full information versions, but as the full information is in German written in a particularly unreadable Fraktur font, it's probably less important here.

- I like the full version; I'm just not keen on detaching images from their original context. Belle (talk) 00:38, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Belle: Nor am I, generally, but as the colour image is obviously just pasted onto the card, I don't think it's as big of a deal as it might be normally. Considered a CSS crop, but thought it would be hard to get the precise crop necessary, since the border has so much contrast with the rest of the image. Was getting some very awkward thumbnails.

- It is ugly with the board admittedly, and looking at it again I think it could be non-contemporary, so I'll support. Belle (talk) 01:47, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Belle and Crisco 1492: Well, with Godot's help, we managed to get a working crop. I had to rewrite a template to make it work, but... that's okay. It's cropped in the article, but shows the full image when clicked on, to provide all context. I'll leave up the cropped option as a courtesy to wikis without CSS image crop.

- That's the best solution all round; my support stands even though the original is now the alt; or the alt is the original; whatever; I support this new version, but I'm not going to bold it as that would look like I was supporting twice; what a support formatting can of worms you've opened, Adam.

- Support - Better with the soft crop (though it is more work), good EV in the article.--Godot13 (talk) 20:32, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
