Wikipedia's own article on Lhamo, Tibetan opera, is a tertiary encyclopedic source. Its strength is that it covers the Thangtong Gyalpo founding legend, the seven sisters, performance structure, narrator, masked chorus, drum and cymbal accompaniment, and the 2009 UNESCO inscription in one accessible place. Its limit is the ordinary one for a crowd edited encyclopedia entry: a founding legend reported this way still needs to be read as legend, not documented history, and the article itself frames it that way.
