In Memoriam: Rita Gorr (Feb. 18 1926 - Jan. 22 2012)
[…] of Leontyne Price and the Radames of Jon Vickers under the baton of Georg Solti. She sang comparatively little in North America, and to my knowledge she sang only in Toronto once, as Madame de Croissy in the last Canadian Opera Company's revival of Les dialogues des Carmelites. She was in good company, with a cast that included Anne Sophie Schmidt (Blanche), Lauren Flanigan (Mme Lidoine), Elizabeth Vidal (Constance), Nadine Denize (Mother Marie), and Benoit Boutet (Chevalier de la Force) Even with such a great cast, Gorr's Croissy was the most memorable. To honour and enjoy the artistry of this great singer, here is the link to a concert from 1993 when Gorr, at the grand age of 67, sang with great authority and lovely tone "J'ai perdu mon Eurydice" from Gluck's Orfeo. Requestiat in pace, Rita Gorr. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UId-0TdpJzM
