It is with deep regret that Glyndebourne informs you that Robert Poulton was tragically killed in a car accident on Tuesday 30 October 2012.
Robert had been a very valued part of the Glyndebourne family for many years. He started his professional career in the Glyndebourne Chorus and as part of this distinguished career had performed central roles both in the Festival and Tour. He will be enormously missed by everyone in the company.
Glyndebourne has appointed a Dramaturg to advise on specialist opera content for a range of initiatives including programme books, publications, media, and pre-performance talks and study events, and to provide support to Glyndebourne’s creative teams.
