My friend Tom alerted me to the death of Antoine Hodge, a singer who recently sang in the chorus of the Met productrion of *Porgy and Bess.* We died of COVID, only 38 years old. The NY Times obit said that the Met will dedicate their opening night performance to him.
Here he is singing a Verdi aria in concert last year, "Ella giammai m'amo" from *Don Carlo.* Gorgeous voice.
