Munich mourns its Antonio

The bass-baritone Alfred Kuhn died this weekend at 86.

He sang 15 years in Darmstadt, five in Düsseldorf and 30 at Bavarian State Opera, where he was a fixture as Antonio in The Marriage of Figaro. Kuhn retired in 2012 and is remembered as one of the company’s most popular members.
