Estonia mourns an opera legend
mainThe formidable bass-baritone Mati Palm, soloist of the Estonian National Opera from 1969 to 2009, died today at the age of 76.
Many of the leading singers of the next two generations were his students at the Estonian Academy of Music.
Besides the fact of being a legendary opera singer, he is an incredibly nice man as well. I had the honor to study with him for 5 years in the music academy.
