The Royal Opera has moved swiftly to replace Lise Davidsen, who’s having twins, with a home-grown soprano of great potential.

The role of Sieglinde in Die Walküre in May will be performed by Natalya Romaniw, making her role debut.

Natalya, who is Welsh-Ukrainian, sang a terrific Tosca at Covent Garden in December and is presently in the house preparing for the new Mark Anthony Turnage opera, Festen.

She recently changed agents, giving her career a different energy source.
