CLOTILDE OTRANTO

So sad to just learn of Clotilde´s passing. As a freelance photojournalist in Arizona in 1994, I had the privilege of interviewing her for a feature story for the initial performance of "Sonoran Symphony," a fundraiser for the Desert Foothills Land Trust in Cave Creek when she was with the Phoenix Symphony. The guest artist was Michael Martin Murphy. Coincidentally, I had also grown up in Sao Paulo, Brazil. That was a special connection for me and I kept tabs on her remarkable career over the...

We always looked forward with enthusiasm to seeing the wonderful Clothide Otranto conduct the NYC ballet. She was an outstanding artist. She is missed.

Always loved when she conducted at New York City Ballet. I will really miss seeing her. So petite, so charming, and a simply wonderful energetic conductor. So really sorry to hear of her passing. What a great loss to this world.

She was a friend of my sister. They studied piano together in Brazil and she became a firend of our family. What an amazing career and what an amazing human being. My heart goes out to her husband. She will be missed!

My heart is broken over the loss of a wonderful, Talented woman. My thoughts and prayers are with her husband Armondo.

I am so sorry to hear this news. Cloltilde was always so kind to the children from SAB who were performing. She will be so very missed.
