Gian Carlo Menotti has died
 
As reported on the BBC


Quote:


Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning opera composer Gian Carlo Menotti has died in a Monaco hospital aged 95.

Born in Italy in 1911, he founded arts festivals in Spoleto in Italy - where he was known affectionately as "the mad maestro" - and in the US.

Menotti also wrote Amahl and the Night Visitors in 1951, thought to have been the first opera written for television.
A sad day for the world of opera :sad:
