[Cesare Impalatore]

I've been told by friends that the great Swedish tenor died today but I can't find an official confirmation, does anyone here know something about Gedda's state?

Yes, I saw that on Amazon opera.
One of my very favorites. :angel:

Very sad news if true. One of the last great singers.

Edit: apparently it's just a rumour started by an anonymous Wikipedia user- hopefully it isn't true.

Rumour or not, did a quick sweep over Swedish Internet Media and there's nothing announced as of this moment!

Over on OPERA-L they are reporting that it is NOT true, that Gedda is alive and well and someone has spoken with him.

Gedda seems indeed to be alive and well according to this source - http://slippedisc.com/2015/05/nicolai-gedda-is-alive-and-well/ - thank God! Wikipedia removed the date of death from his page now.

 

[Itullian]

Very good to hear.

Well, that the announcement was made on Lebrecht's Slipped Disc sorta speaks for itself!

Well he is turning 90 this year. Hopefully there are many years left
