Finally, a word about Bramwell Tovey, 69

We note with immense sadness the passing of our friend and colleague, the conductor and composer and pianist and community philanthropist Bramwell Tovey. He died last Tuesday after a three-year struggle with a rare and insidious cancer, Ewing’s sarcoma. 

In 2016, he made his debut at City Opera in the speaking role of Impresario in our new comedy, THE LOST OPERAS OF MOZART. Although we gave him Maria Reva’s script, it was only a start. Every one of our four full houses was treated to his wit and spontaneity, his impeccable timing, his wickedly funny improvisations. So was he in life. Like so many others, we mourn his passing, and say thanks for his many, many gifts.
