Maria was a brilliant designer and her early death a tragedy for the profession. Her early work at Glasgow’s Citizen’s Theatre was an early illustration of her outstanding talent. This was soon to blossom with the amazing Janacek cycle for the Scottish and Welsh National Operas, and an outstanding Meistersinger for Scottish Opera.
That her name is now tarnished with scheming by relatives after her estate is very sad. Yet this was almost bound to happen given the income continuing to accrue to the Trust from Phantom and her having left no last will and testament. Hopefully others will realise it’s never too early to draft such a document.
