Israeli soprano gets a Vienna Opera break
mainThe Vienna run of Dvorak’s Rusalka is having a bumpy start.
Camilla Nylund filled in on the opening night for a sick Krassimira Stoyanova, but she’s in demand elsewhere. Krassimira is still sick. She will be replaced on Saturday by Gal James, making her Vienna Opera debut.
A Barenboim protegée, Gal James, 38, came third in the 2006 Belvedere competition and now lives in Graz.
If that’s the costume, no wonder Stoyanova is out sick.
Gal James was amazing yesterday! What a voice! Brava
