Sicklist: Diana Damrau cancels role debut
mainA persistent viral illness has knocked the celebrated soprano out of Baden-Baden, where she was due to make her role debut as Countess Almaviva in Marriage of Figaro on July 16 and 19.
Luxury swap: Sonya Yoncheva steps in.
Yannick conducts.
The other cast change here, presumably announced earlier but news to me, is Bryn Terfel being replaced by the fading Thomas Hampson!
So she is out of the DG recording, I suppose.
