The Russian-born soprano Olga Peretyatko has a habit of spilling personal beans on Facebook. In June 2018, she announced that she was filing for divorce from the con ductor Michele Mariotti and withdrawing from all of his performances.
In August 2020 she married the Russia bass Grigory Shkarupa and in 2021 gave birth to a daughter. Her Facebook status is currently listed as ‘separated’.
Peretyatko has just withdrawn from La traviata in Genoa. She offers a very full explanation:
Hello, my friends!
I’ve been quiet for a while, but I successfully underwent surgery to remove a polyp the size of a small apricot from my maxillary sinus. It turns out that it’s been with me for 20 years, and only now do I truly know what it means to breathe freely!
Unfortunately, I had to sacrifice performing *La Traviata* in Genoa, but this operation had to be done in winter to avoid the addition of allergic factors in spring or summer, and I am currently not allowed to fly. Thank you to those who sent personal messages concerned about why my name disappeared from the lineup. I’m really sorry that those of you who bought tickets and wanted to see me won’t have the chance this time. But I’m inviting everyone to *Rigoletto* in Florence!
Thank you to Opera Carlo Felice Genova for your understanding, and break a leg to my colleague Carolina Lopez Moreno who jumped in into this production!
