​Bob and I first met, when I was able to give him a ticket for the first night in Cardiff of Welsh National Opera’s production of Wagner’s ‘Tristan und Isolde’, when I sang my first Isolde. He became not only a fan but a valued friend over the years coming to many of the performances I was involved with.
As I got to know him, I was amazed at his knowledge of singers in the opera world and of course was thrilled to know that he had heard Kirsten Flagstad sing at the Metropolitan Opera when he was a young boy.
Bob gave me a generous gift towards the publication of Dame Eva Turner’s Biography which I wrote in 2007 and so I am very pleased to be able to repay his kindness by serving on the board of the ‘Robert W. Hendra Charitable Trust’ which is being founded in his name.
