Leonard Warren collapses and dies on stage at the Met
Metropolitan Opera star Leonard Warren, 49, died during Verdi's La Forza del Destino after collapsing from an apparent stroke on stage in New York. He was mid line in the second act Don Carlo aria as priests administered rites behind the curtain. Music director Rudolf Bing announced the death and asked the audience for a moment of tribute. Warren, a leading dramatic baritone since debuting in 1939, was celebrated for his 1958 Moscow tour performances.
