PHILIP LANGRIDGE Obituary

LANGRIDGE--Philip. The Metropolitan Opera mourns the untimely death of tenor Philip Langridge. He made his Met debut as Ferrando in "Cosi fan tutte" in 1985, and appeared as the Witch in "Hansel and Gretel" just two months ago. It was a role that showcased his splendid acting ability and wonderful sense of humor. In all, he sang 64 performances of eight roles, including Aron in the Met premiere of Schoenberg's Moses und Aron. We will remember his wonderful voice and superb musicianship and sorely miss him as a generous and beloved colleague. We offer our deepest sympathy to his wife, Ann, his children Stephen, Anita, Jennifer, and Jonathan, and his grandchildren. Peter Gelb, General Manager James Levine, Music Director
