The immensely popular and talented Irish soprano Cara O’Sullivan has died at the age of 59. O’Sullivan was diagnosed with early-onset dementia just three years ago.
The Cork woman, who studied at the Cork School of Music, was recognised as being an international star and one of the finest singers of her generation.
She won the Young Musician of the Future award in 1990 but despite playing around the world she never strayed too far from her beloved Cork.
So sad to hear of the passing of Cara O’Sullivan. A beautiful voice and the kindest person. We will never forget the emotional energy she created before our games “Until you hear that bell, that final bell, Stand up and fight like hell!” RIP Cara.
