Just in: Domingo cancels Covent Garden
mainPlacido Domingo has pulled out of this week’s Traviata for family reasons.
He explains:
I am very sorry to have to cancel my upcoming performance of La Traviata in London on Thursday, May 28th. I am still in Boston and will remain by my sister MarÃa José’s side until she returns to stable condition and comes out of the Intensive Care Unit. I want to thank you all for your patience, your kind understanding and your loving support and prayers.
Great. Now they can cast a baritone.
Not a very tasteful comment I must say!
Exactly! Rumour has it he cancelled the Met broadcast of Ernani last month because he feared a world-wide audience would hear how miscast he is as a Verdi baritone.
Wow, that is your comment as Domingo’s sister is in intensive care. How crass and insensitive.
Just griping comments – no sympathy?
