What tragic news - also a Welsh National performer.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. -
There will be a performance of Fauré’s Requiem at 1pm on Friday, in memory of the Glyndebourne baritone Robert Poulton, who died last night in a car smash.

I saw him exactly a week ago in Glyndebourne's Rusalka. A tragic loss.Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency....Comment

He seems to have sung many of the major roles. Looking at my WNO programmes, I last saw him in Ariadne auf Naxos (2010, Music Master) and La Cenerentola (2007, Don Magnifico) and he was due to perform in Lulu next year

Deeply shocking. I also saw him in Rusalka just a couple of weeks ago; as I wrote on one of these threads, it was a truly great evening.Comment
