I met Chris briefly in 2018 when we were both watching the rehearsals of the Royal Opera House’s Ring Cycle, and I’m still struck by his effortless warmth and the kindness he radiated.

My deepest condolences for the loss of this wonderful man.

You were destined for great things in music, and your shining personality, enthusiasm, and knowledge were infectious. I’ll…
