The Susan Chilcott Scholarship for British opera singers, founded in 2005 in memory of a brilliant soprano who died at 40 of cancer, has delivered its final £10,000 prize before the fund is wound up.

The last recipient, announced today, is the soprano Gemma Summerfield.

    Hardly ‘abolished’….its being wound up as the funds have been used.

  • Deborah Mawer says:

    ‘Abolished’ is a poor description and part of yet another over-dramatic SD headline.

    They probably just ran out of cash.

  • Karen Fodor says:

    Norman, you’re losing credibility with such melodramatic titles.

    • barry guerrero says:

      How could Norman be losing credibility when he’s already infamous for being a provocateur. We all keep returning, don’t we?

  • Nik says:

    She looks like Alice Coote’s twin sister in that picture.

  • Allen says:

    Why not just say “banned”?
