Fondly remembered

I thought George Hall’s obituary for David Blewitt was absolutely spot on (The Stage, February 2, page 45). I knew him from the early 1980’s when I was beginning my career in the chorus of Opera North (the then English National), and over the years his loyalty and friendship knew no bounds. My favourite comment when referring to his review of a particularly ‘stinking’ operatic production was: “I’m afraid I put the boot in”. I shall miss him dreadfully, but my goodness, what fun we had together!
