Das Sinnbild der menschlichen Einsamkeit

Anna Netrebko has withdrawn from her role debut in next month’s performances of Ariadne auf Naxos at the Wiener Staatsoper

Marty Sohl

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 Roš?i? and I are working to find a new period as soon as possible for me to sing it in Vienna. – Facebook

Her deluxe substitute will be Lise Davidsen. A performance will be broadcast on January 28th.
