NY opera tragedy: Designer killed, opera director injured
mainJeremiah and Keturah Grünblatt, a popular couple in the opera community, got married on Sunday and went on honeymoon to Long Island.
Yesterday, while out driving, their SUV swerved into oncoming traffic and hit a bus.
Jeremiah, 42, was killed. Keturah, 39, was rushed to hospital. Her injuries are said to be not life-threatening.
The opera profession is in shock. Keturah is a former director at Emerald City Opera. She spent the month before her wedding in Kentucky, directing Verdi’s Macbeth.

What a tragedy. I did not have a chance to meet Jeremiah but having worked with Keturah at Virginia Opera, I believe he must have been a beautiful soul who chose to join in marriage with another beautiful soul. Love, let it lead you too! May their love and commitment transcend this experience.
Dearest Keturah, My heart is so rent with sadness at your loss. Recover well my friend. Xoxo. Blessings.
This tragic day, Laurie Rogers and I were recording these songs by Enric Granados in Pennsylvania, when we knew this dramatic and sad new… No words, this song says all:
