Edgar Vincent Represented Leading Opera Singers
Publicist and artists manager Edgar Vincent, who represented tenor Plcido Domingo, soprano Beverly Sills and dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov amid a host of A-list singers, conductors and instrumentalists, died Thursday at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. He was 90.
Vincent died of a blood clot while recovering from hip replacement surgery, according to his longtime professional partner, Patrick Farrell.
“There are no words to express the personal loss I feel, nor the professional loss to the world of opera," Domingo, the general director of the Los Angeles Opera, said in a statement. “I knew Edgar Vincent from the beginning of my career in the U.S., and his impact on my life cannot be measured. In fact, I know of no one who was not touched by Edgar's dignity and humanity through the world of music. We will not see the likes of Edgar again."
