An American who triumphed in an English country garden

An American who triumphed in an English country garden

The mezzo-soprano Regina Sarfaty, who has died at 90, never got picked to sing at the Met.

She was picked by Santa Fe in 1957 while still a student at Juilliard and she went on to appear at NY City Opera, but the phone never rang from the haughty Met.

In 1960, however, Regina sang Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier at Glyndebourne and was rebooked ecery tear until 1984. During that time, she joined the Zurich Opera ensemble and was much appreciated in other continetal houses.
