Dr. James Walsh founder and benefactor of Opera Worcester will be sincerely missed

 

Dr. Walsh was our first treasurer, past president, and long term benefactor and inspirational guardian to Opera Worcester over our 37 years of service to the Central Massachusetts cultural community. He died on July 17th in Waterbury CT after a long illness.  We were honored to have Dr Walsh with us for a final remembrance at our April presentation of Madama Butterfly, one of his very favorite operas.  We and the general community will miss him as a friend as well as a colleague.  Link to the Telegram obituary:
