Gwendolyn Killebrew has passed away in Germany, Dec. 28th at the age of 80. Our paths crossed in the early 70s at New York City Opera. It was always fun. September 11, 1971, BALLO IN MASCHERA, Ulrica. She posed in the dressing room. I never noticed at the time they she made her teeth rotted for this gloomy role, but she had a swell manicure. Latest thing is Witch style.
CARMEN Sept. 2, 1972 with Michelle Molese as Don Jose
BEATRIX CENCI, March 14, 1973. Gwendolyn was Lucrecia. Arlene Saunders was Beatrix
Back to CARMEN, Oct. 6, 1974 this time with Placido Domingo as Don Jose
All performance images shot from the wings with the exception of the Ballo dressing room pictures. The camera was my trusty manual Leica,- no auto focus, no meter.
Dear Gwendolyn, THANK YOU. RIP
