It was great sadness I heard of Dmitri Hvorostovsky's passing. It is not entirely unexpected, as he has been battling brain cancer, but it is devastating news. We were still hoping he'd find a way to beat it. He was a delightful baritone to watch in the Met broadcasts. The last performance I saw him in was in Il Trovatore, and he was great in that. My condolences to his family, colleagues, and opera fans around the world who will sorely miss him.
Whoa, I actually know who this is, sorta. Sad :-(
ReplyDeleteL and I so torn up over this. :(
