The Met is running out of Hermans

The Met is running out of Hermans

The US tenor Brian Jagde was supposed to take the lead in the Met’s new run of Tchaikovsky’s Queen of Spades.

When he pulled out, the Met called in Brandon Jovanovich.

Now he’s gone, too.

The third choice is an untested Armenian, Arsen Soghomonyan. Mrs Peter Gelb connducts. The show opens Friday. What (else) could possibly go wrong?
