Kaufmann cancels Hollywood, will not be replaced

Kaufmann cancels Hollywood, will not be replaced

The Hollywood Bowl has posted its regrets about the latest lapse in Jonas Kaufmann’s stuttering schedule:

‘Due to illness, Jonas Kaufmann is unable to perform during the September 12 concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Additional arias performed by Diana Damrau have been included in the updated programming.’

That, frankly, is poor value. Ticket holders have not paid to hear a solo evening of Ms Damrau, excellent as she may be.

The cancelled show is also a blow for Sony, which aimed to use it as a showcase for JK’s Puccini album.

Bad form all round.
