My friend Adrian Fisher, who has died aged 67 of a heart attack, was an actor and opera singer.
He lived for many years in Antwerp, Belgium, appearing in more than 700 performances with the local Vlaamse Opera House from 1992 to 2004, before touring extensively across Europe in solo roles, including as Stárek in Jenůfa (2007) at the Muziektheater Amsterdam and on a national tour of the Netherlands, and as Charles Guiteau in Assassins (2010) at the Teatergarasjen Bergen in Norway, followed by a tour to Poland and France.
