The Marriage of Figaro and Tosca

The Marriage of Figaro | 2 – 15 Sept 2024

Jacquelyn Stucker has withdrawn from all performances of The Marriage of Figaro for health reasons. The role of Countess Almaviva will be performed by Maria Bengtsson.

Sonya Yoncheva has withdrawn from all performances of Tosca for personal reasons. The role of Floria Tosca will be performed by Natalya Romaniw (26, 29 Nov and 6, 8 (matinee) Dec), and Chiara Isotton (11, 13 Dec), who makes her House debut.

To lose one soprano is unfortunate. Two starts to look like a trend.
