Stunning indeed. I'm shocked & thoroughly saddened by this news.
Georgia was a beautiful woman - radiant on & off stage.
I performed at Light Opera of Manhattan with her several times.
What a "Kathy" in "The Student Prince" - I'd simply fall head
over heels for her in whatever she performed.
A gorgeous voice & great looks & a great talent!
We'll miss her for sure!
Thanks for posting this Chris - I'll pass it along to other collleagues
& friends.

news from friends.

>If any of you knew soprano Georgia McEver, then you may or may not
already know that she passed away on December 24th. She had a brain
aneurysm. She was riding horses on her farm in Salisbury, Connecticut, put
her horse in the barn and came staggering out, when a farm hand discovered
her.. She was already dead when the ambulance reached the hospital.
>
>She was active in performing Gilbert and Sullivan, singing and producing
many of their operettas in the New York area. She also sang the role of
Susannah in several other productions recently. We are mourning her death.
>
>I worked with her in Carlisle Floyd's SUSANNAH, which she sang with the
Long Leaf Opera in North Carolina, just last September-October. I sang the
role of Elder Gleaton in that production and was extremely impressed with
her voice and performance. We all enjoyed working with her immensely, and I
always learn something from others in a production. This was no exception.
>
>If any of you knew Georgia, or worked with her, please let me know.
Georgia had been battling cancer for a while, and had been free of it when
she sang Susannah with us, here in North Carolina. So, this is just
stunning news.
