not sure how I missed this...
PARIS - Regine Crespin, the French opera great who took her personal magnetism and soprano voice to the world's leading stages, died Thursday. She was 80.
Crespin died at Paris hospital, her record company EMI said; no cause of death was given.
With her luxurious voice, the seductive soprano stood out among opera singers as a leading lyrical artist.
She sang on the top stages, from Paris, Vienna and Berlin to Covent Garden in London. She performed at the Metropolitan Opera for 25 years, unusual for a French artist.
