A minute’s silence at Royal Opera for lost chorister
mainThere was an unscheduled break in today’s Pagliacci rehearsal at Covent Garden.
Cast and chorus were called to the side-stage and chorus director Renato Balsadonna broke the news very sensitively that Joan Carroll, friend and colleague, had died the night before of cancer.
Joan was a fine singer, actress and larger than life personality who was loved by all and, in the last months of her illness, deeply missed.
May she rest in peace.
