Remembering Geraldina Sorrentino
~ by Melinda Bargreen

Geri's death on 26 following a fall was an unexpected, but suitably operatic, coda to a long career devoted to the presentation and preservation of her favorite art form. Not for her the Traviata-like decline (though she probably would have looked terrific as she bid her admirers a last farewell); for Geraldina, it was the sudden exit that took all her friends and fans by surprise.
