News is spreading of the death of Lynton Black, a popular figure at Covent Garden and many UK stages.

He also sang at the Paris Opéra, Aix-en-Provence Festival, La Monnaie, Brussels, and Bavarian State Opera.

At Theater Basel he created a one-man show Beauty retire… and so to bed, based on the diaries of Samuel Pepys.

British opera companies are sadly derelict in reporting the passing of their artists.
