It's an impressive biography. For some reason the name didn't resonate with me though reading through the list of performances I can't understand why. Doubly sad to lose an artist whose career had not yet ended.

A moving tribute to a fine artist - many thanks verismissimo!

It was a bit startling to see Richsard Hickox in action once again - another great loss

How sad. Elizabeth Connell was a wonderful dramatic soprano. She could have been a rival to many well known big names. RIP.

In fact she died in her home in London, not in Australia. Sorry to mislead.

Here she is in the ROH Hansel and Gretel from four years ago.
