Joan Ingpen, an influential classical music manager who played a major role in the career of Luciano Pavarotti, has died at age 91. Ingpen died 29 Dec 2007 after a short illness in her home town Hove, near Brighton, funeral director Eric de Chalon said Wednesday. Ingpen represented Sir Georg Solti, the charismatic conductor, during the 1950s before she became artistic administrator of London's Royal Opera House in 1961. But she likely will be best remembered for bringing Pavarotti onto the world stage.
