Sudden death of Polish baritone, 55
RIPPoland’s national opera has announced the death of Marcin Bronikowski, a leading figure on its stage for three decades.
Warsaw born and educated, Marcin completed his studies in Italy with Alberto Zedda and was much in demand at La Scala, Covent Garden and Bavarian State Opera. No cause of death has been made known.
Such a great singer and colleague! So sad
This is such tragic news. I had the pleasure of singing with Marcin in “Cenerentola”, many, many years ago during three months in Strasbourg: he was so incredibly funny, with a gorgeous voice. And simply one of the nicest guys you could be lucky enough to meet. He was much too young to leave this world and will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies to his beautiful family.
I’m heartbroken to hear this. Such a warm, inspirering person and singer. My first (and only) Escamillo, and a truly friendly and supporting collegue. Wise and funny. Often wished we was going to work more on the same stage. My thoughts goes to his close ones
