We started there, in Cardiff together…
Life goes so fast!
I so much wanted to believe that this time he’s going to win again!

La notizia della tua scomparsa ci è arrivata fulminea e ci atterrisce.. ti ricordiamo così, col tuo debutto in Italia, partendo proprio da qui con l’ONEGIN (1991) e poi col Germont ne LA TRAVIATA, che ci ha visto risorgere nel 2004.
Grazie, Dmitry. RIP pic.twitter.com/EnmCRmdyKZ

Il mondo della lirica continuerà ad essere illuminato dalla tua stella che risplenderà in eterno R.I.P Amico mio pic.twitter.com/ufPSzyVJue

Oh, my heart aches from this news. I honestly can’t believe it. I never had the pleasure of meeting this legend, but his gift was highly respected throughout the opera world. Lots of prayers to his family. There is a giant hole left in the world today. https://t.co/wXVRukoLdw

Today, the world lost a beautiful soul… I am devastated and heavy-hearted by the loss of Dmitri Hvorostovsky, a wonderful friend and a beautiful soul gone too soon! His voice is now shining for the angels in Heaven! To Florence and his precious family – words cannot heal the pain, but may loving memories bring you strength, comfort and peace, today and always! Rest in peace, my dear Dimichka, you will continue to live forever in our hearts! 🙏🏻 Angela Gheorghiu
