Longtime Aspen Music Festival and School opera program director Edward Berkeley died unexpectedly on Saturday.
The news was announced from the stage at the Benedict Music Tent on Saturday night moments before a performance of “The Magic Flute,” directed by Berkeley, was to begin. The show went on, dedicated to the director, who was in his 40th season on faculty at the festival.
