I turn to Wagner in good times and bad. This is a new learn for me, having adored this opera for over a decade! Can see where Elgar gets it from...

The Cathedral is sad to hear of the death of Ben Thapa. Ben was a Choral Scholar at the Cathedral in the early 2000s, returning as a tenor Lay Clerk from 2019-22. Please continue to pray for the repose of his soul, and keep his family & friends in your prayers during this time.

BEN THAPA (1982 – 2024) We are hugely sad to announce the sudden death of Ben Thapa. It was a huge privilege to know and work with him. Ben was well known for oratorio, opera, and as a member of the vocal group G4. We send our thoughts to his family, friends, and colleagues.
