Elina Garanca has crashed out, ordered by her doctors to take a week’s break.

She is replaced on July 22 and 24 by the Russian mezzo Ekaterina Gubanova – a fine artist but not quite the same fire-power as the other stars on show: Anja Harteros, Jonas Kaufmann and Bryn Terfel.

    ….not quite the same fire-power as the other stars on show –
    Do we really want to read such a remark?

    • Gerhard says:

      Not really. Putting down people – at least some people – appears to be the blog writer’s hallmark. But do you see any reason to take this seriously?

  • Gerhard says:

    Having listened to the tv transmission of the 24 July concert in the meantime, I can also state that the remark putting down Ms. Gubanova is not only poor form, but lacks good musical judgement as well.
