He was a very genial and much-loved member of the ROH Chorus. I had the impression that he didn’t relish the pressure of singing leading roles, or else his career might have gone in a different direction, as his voice was certainly a fine one. Nonetheless he did sing a few small roles at ROH and understudied many others. RIP Paschal.
