SHERRY ZANNOTH Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 27, 2012.
ZANNOTH--Sherry. Rutgers Presbyterian Church is saddened by the recent death of Sherry Zannoth, a soprano who shared her life and talent with our church. She was a native of Detroit, Michigan, and graduated in music and voice at Oberlin College in Ohio, and later received her master's degree from Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. Sherry debuted at the Metropolitan Opera in 1969 and sang in many opera houses and concert halls across the U.S. and Europe. She has long served as a section leader and soloist in the choir at Rutgers Church. Her outgoing lively spirit, and passion for music have enamored many Rutgers members, who have followed her career and attended many of her performances across the City. We celebrate her life, and know with joy she is singing with the angels now.

I only found out today that Sherry has passed. We met a long time ago, when she was working at the theatre in Bremen / Germany and I while training to be an actress took singing lessons with Sherry. She was very witty and very enthusiastic and I learned so much from hear, not only about voice and music. She left Bremen a couple of years later, I did as well, and somehow I always thought we would meet again. So sad to hear that this won't be possible any more.

Our paths crossed just a few times, but she was a generous colleague, fun, and kind. I was so very sorry to hear of her passing.

I met Sherry at Chatauqua Opera although her reputation preceded her by a mile. Not only was she famous for her singing but for being "Sherry" ...smart , sassy and funny...really funny.I miss her every day.
Her artistry lives on in our memory and her "Sherry"lives on in our hearts...

Chautauqua Opera shares our deepest condolences on the passing of soprano Sherry Zannoth. Sherry was a unique performer and personality. Her great singing and her "wicked" sense of humor filled every room she was in with joy and laughter. I had the great delight of working with her first in Lansing and later at New York City Opera on many productions and then at Chautauqua Opera where Sherry had started in the Young Artist program many years before. She was also a dear friend for many years. I will always remember a wonderful artist and great lady.
