Death of an international Dutch tenor, 72
mainOperanostalgia reports the death of the Dutch tenor Hubert Delamboye, after a long sickness, on June 11 in Margraten.
Hubert sang at the Salzburg Festival through the 1990s with Claudio Abbado, adding Tristan to his repertoire in the same decade. He also worked with Nikolaus Harnoncourt, James Levine and Kurt Masur.
An absolutely superb and to my mind much underrated singer.
Also a very nice person. RIP.
Heard him very often, mainly in Frankfurt. Liked him a lot.
Very impressive in his role as leper in Saint François d’Assise in Amsterdam.
