	June Bronhill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She was born June Mary Gough in the inland Australian city, Broken Hill.
		Her stage name Bronhill, which she used from 1952, was an abbreviation of Broken Hill, which was her way of thanking her home town for its support in raising money to send her overseas for professional training as a singer.
		Bronhill was well known in the London West End theatres as well as on the opera stage.

		The Australian-born June Bronhill, who has died aged 75 following years of poor health, including a battle with breast cancer, was one of the busiest, most admired sopranos active in Britain in lighter repertory during the 1950s and 60s.
		Bronhill was born in Broken Hill, New South Wales, and chose some of the letters of her home town for her professional name (she had been born June Gough).
		Bronhill was always at the centre of things when she was on stage, singing and acting with great aplomb and a ready wit.

	Memories of June Bronhill
		June's voice was so well suited to those lovely Romberg operetta songs from 'The Student Prince', 'The New Moon' and 'The Desert Song.' A couple of the many highlights of the evening for me were her renditiions of the 'Sabre song' (Desert Song) and 'Deep in my heart dear' from Student Prince.
		June was so kind to me that evening and also gave me her address and telephone number so that I could contact her for concert dates etc. For several years after that we exchanged Christmas cards and I often saw her backstage after concerts and shows.
		June Bronhill was superb in the part and the show awoke in me a liking for musicals and their particular theatricality.

		Finally, the "Count of Luxemburg" was recorded in 1969, with Neville Jason and Leslie Fyson opposite June Bronhill; it was a release in EMI's Studio 2 Stereo range, with the John McCarthy Singers, not the Sadler's Wells company, and again I've not seen it since.
		The male parts and choruses are sung extremely well; on the other hand, while I know that June Bronhill was a well-loved singer of the time, to my ear she sounds a bit shrill and heavy in vibrato for comfort.
