Soprano Rose Bampton, 99, died Tuesday in Bryn Mawr. She had a career that took form at the Curtis Institute of Music, ended at the Metropolitan Opera, and made stops in Buenos Aires and on popular American radio shows in between. Off stage she had a razor wit and a finely tuned sense of irony. Look for an obituary in Thursday's Inquirer.
