Canadian media are reporting the death of Huguette Tourangeau, a gracious mezzo who won the Met national auditions in 1964 and went on to become a main-stage and recording partner of Dame Joan Sutherland.

Among many roles, she sang a filmed Carmen in Hamburg and a televised Zerlina at the Met.

She retired early, in 1980.
