The soprano Pauline Tinsley, who has died aged 93, was idolised by audiences and critics alike for her peerless performances in a wide range of repertoire, yet was consistently passed over by the operatic establishment.
The blazing intensity of her singing in such roles as Turandot, the Dyer’s Wife in Die Frau ohne Schatten, Elektra or any number of Verdi heroines could be searing and imprinted itself on the memories of countless operagoers, but notwithstanding acclaimed appearances with Sadler’s Wells Opera (1963–74, the year in which it became English National Opera) and Welsh National Opera (1962–72 and 1975–81), her talents were unaccountably neglected later in her career, both by British national opera houses and by commercial record companies.

Los Angeles Opera is returning to the great indoors much sooner than expected: The company is scheduled to announce Monday that it will stage a free performance of “Oedipus Rex” inside Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on June 6.
That covers the who, what and when, but arts groups plotting their future with the pandemic not yet ended may be most interested in hearing the how: To attend the Chandler show, patrons must present proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or negative COVID-19 test results.
The Igor Stravinsky opera will mark the company’s first in-person performance inside the Chandler since the March 8, 2020, staging of “Roberto Devereux.” The final performance of that production on March 14 was canceled when major venues first declared temporary closures in the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
