The death has been announced in Moscow of the strikingly beautiful Galina Pisarenko, a star of the Stanislavski Theatre and a stalwart of Walter Felsenstein’s Komische Oper in East Berlin.

In retirement, Pisarenko was an influential teacher. She founded the Nina Dorliak Competition, named for her own teacher, the wife of pianist Sviatoslav Richter.
