Today is the third anniversary of the death of Dorotea Doroteeva, an Austrian-trained Bulgarian soprano with a rising European career. Dorotea died suddenly of a stomach complaint on May 9, 2021, leaving a one year-old son. In the crush of Covid mortality, her death went unrecorded.

Here are some recorded mementos:

  • Neil Cardew-Fanning says:

    A lovely voice – warm, round, full, even. A definite loss to the world of singing & opera. But her death is even a greater loss to her little son & doubtlessly others who knew & loved her.

  • Marc Bonnemoy says:

    I am not the only one but I miss Dorotea more than I can express.
    From time to time I can listen her voice reasoning in my house.
    Rest in Peace
