Cancer claims premier Australian soprano, 49
mainOpera Australia has announced the death, from ovarian cancer, of principal soprano Taryn Fiebig.
Artistic Director Lyndon Terracini writes:
“It is with great sadness to hear of Taryn Fiebig’s passing. Taryn was an extremely talented artist and a wonderful human being. I saw her last week and was deeply moved by her grace and generosity as she faced her final curtain call.
“We all loved Taryn and we admired her strength and joy for life.
“Arrivederci Taryn. We will miss you terribly and we will never forget the impact and influence you had on all our lives. I send my deepest condolences to Jud and family.”
Initially a cellist, she joined Opera Australia in 2005 and sang leading roles in most subsequent seasons.
It is reported that her singing moved Prince Charles to tears.
