Dermot Troy (31 July 1927 – 6 September 1962) was an Irish Lyric Tenor associated with the music of Mozart.
Life and career [link]
Troy was born in Tinahely, County Wicklow and was raised in Inchicore, Dublin. As a young man he joined the Royal Air Force in 1945. He left the R.A.F. in 1948 but had received a serious hearing loss in his right ear due to an explosion.
In 1952 he entered a voice competition, which was coordinated with the opening of the Mario Lanza film, The Great Caruso. After winning the Irish section of this competition,[1] he attended the finals in England where he was runner-up. This brought a good deal of interest in his voice. He began with the noted Italian tenor Dino Borgioli and had a number of singing engagements in England.
He received his big break in 1958 when he was invited to sing leading tenor roles at the Mannheim State Opera. Another opportunity opened up for him in 1960 when he was invited to sing at the prestigious Hamburg State Opera.
In June 1961 he suffered a heart attack. He was known to be a very heavy smoker. He returned to Dublin for his recovery and in April, 1962, he was able to return to Hamburg where in September 1962 he suffered a fatal heart attack.[2]
Troy did not leave many recordings. He is a member of a prestigious cast on an EMI recording of Richard Strauss' Capriccio and in the 1957 recording of a live performance of Les Troyens by Berlioz. He did record selections of Thomas Moore's Melodies plus a small number of other various songs. He also recorded Mozart's Zaide.

Troy Transit Center
Troy Transit Center is an Amtrak station in Troy, Michigan served by the Wolverine. This station replaced Birmingham Amtrak station on October 14, 2014, and is located about 1200 feet southwest on Doyle Drive in Troy, Michigan.
Description
The Troy Transit Center brings together the services of Amtrak, Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) buses and taxis. Designed by local architectural firm Neumann/Smith, the one story, 2,000 square foot brick building includes a waiting room and restrooms; large expanses of glass allow natural light to flood the interior. A pedestrian bridge over the tracks allows access to the western platform and protects passengers from inclement weather.
History
In 2000, Grand Sakwa Properties gave the city of Troy title to 77 acres, 2.7 of which would be donated with the provision that funding for a transit center be secured within 10 years. In 2011, the cities of Birmingham and Troy were awarded a federal grant to assist in replacing the existing station with a new, multimodal transit center across the tracks in Troy. However, the mayor of Troy rejected the funding on ideological grounds, thus terminating the project. The $6.6 million project was resurrected by a subsequent Troy city administration, and broke ground on November 27, 2012, and was completed in October 2013. A legal dispute over title to the land kept the center from opening. In late September 2014, a settlement by Troy to acquire the land and lease the site to Amtrak was reached, and the station opened on October 14, 2014.
List of craters on Mars: O-Z
This is a list of craters on Mars. There are hundreds of thousands of impact crater on Mars, but only some of them have names. This list here contains only named Martian craters starting with the letter O – Z (see also lists for A – G and H – N).
Large Martian craters (greater than 60 km in diameter) are named after famous scientists and science fiction authors; smaller ones (less than 60 km in diameter) get their names from towns on Earth. Craters cannot be named for living people, and small crater names are not intended to be commemorative - that is, a small crater isn't actually named after a specific town on Earth, but rather its name comes at random from a pool of terrestrial place names, with some exceptions made for craters near landing sites. Latitude and longitude are given as planetographic coordinates with west longitude.
