We have been notified of the death of Carlos Feller on Deecmber 21.

After making his debut at the Colon in Buenos Aires in 1946, he made his first London appearance a dozen years later at Sadlers Wells in Cimarosa’s Il maestro di cappella. He went on to appear on all major stages and in numerous recordings.
