<p> DIED. BORIS CHRISTOFF, 79, opera singer; in Rome. The Bulgarian-born
bass was embarking on a career in law when the King of Bulgaria
heard him in concert and asked a question no one would ever
have to ask again: "Why are you not a singer?" Christoff combined
a Russian-style vocal richness with an Italian musical refinement;
these qualities, along with a fiery acting style and the breadth
of his repertoire, made him one of the greatest basses of this
century.
