mainThe death has been reported of Jennifer Holbrook, an outstanding Peabody graduate whose professional roles included Violetta, Adalgisa, Manon (Massenet) and Leila (Pearl Fishers).
Jennifer died in Philadelphia a week ago. No cause of death has been disclosed.
She leaves a partner, William Davenport, who is also an opera singer; and their two year-old daughter, Eleanor.
Words fail.

Sad, very sad ….she had some much more to give the world
Unfortunately, her death does seem newsworthy. The death of a beautiful young artist with (apparently) everything going for her is rare and tragic enough to merit a post. Condolences to her family. Let’s hope it never happens again.
