Message from the Vienna-based Russian soprano:
“I am regrettably obliged to withdraw from my January performances in Ariadne auf Naxos at the Wiener Staatsoper, which would have marked my role debut. Ill health this month compromised the preparation time required before starting rehearsals just after the New Year. I am sad that I will not be interpreting this incredible new role but, because of the time unexpectedly lost, I am unable to prepare it to the standard I demand of myself. I am sorry to disappoint everyone who planned on attending. Since beginning to study the role of Ariadne, I have fallen in love with it and looked forward to debuting it. Bogdan Roščić and I are working to find a new period as soon as possible for me to sing it in Vienna. I am grateful that Lise Davidsen accepted to give the performances and wish her all my best.”
She has been swiftly replaced.
