Dmitry Hvorostovsky cancels recitals to resume cancer therapy
mainStatement by the Vienna State Opera:
Dmitri Hvorostovsky is postponing scheduled recitals in Kaliningrad and Minsk over the coming week and canceling his Wiener Staatsoper recital on March 7 after being advised by his doctors to continue treatment for his brain tumour during this period.
The Wiener Staatsoper is currently looking for a replacement, which will be announced as soon as possible. In a statement, Dmitri Hvorostovsky said, “I had been greatly looking forward to these recitals, and it truly pains me to have to withdraw from them. However, right now I must follow doctor’s orders and focus on my recovery. I sincerely appreciate all of the love and support that has been shown to me by my family, friends, and fans.”
Hvorostovsky plans to return to performing in April with a concert in Toronto with Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov and a recital in Dublin.
Dmitri, You have the most glorious voice that I have ever heard. Please follow your doctor’s orders. I am praying for you!
Your health ahead of everything else!
Dimitri, I came 16,000 kms for your glorious recital in Toronto in 2016 and it was the musical experiece of my very long life. You give so much joy.
Our hopes and prayers are with you.
Dmitri Aleksandrovich, You are first on my mind in my every day’s waking hours. My voice, fervent prayers, daily meditations, joint millions around the globe. Everyone around me, that knows you, is sending pleas and asking heavens for your strength in going through grueling therapy times. These are difficult, trying times for you and your beautiful family. But you must believe in your strong immune system and your strong mind.YOU WILL PULL THROUGH ALL,TAXING TIMES. YOU WILL WIN THIS BATTLE!
We just saw you on YouTube singing Moscow Nights and were absolutely blown away by your voice and persona. We pray for
your recovery and would love to see you in Toronto or ever possible in our hometown in the States of Pittsburgh. You are a wonder of this world. Two old folks who are enthralled by your stage presence and a voice that comes along once in our lifetime.
Keep the faith, Dimitri.

Nog maar kort geleden heb ik de prachtige stem van Dimitri leren kennen op YouTube
Er gaat geen dag voorbij of ik luister naar hem hij bemoedigd
Vertroost mijn geest.
Prachtig wat een sten.
Het doet mij verdriet dat hij niet meer onder zijn vrouw en kinderen is
Sterkte Lieve vrouw van Dimitri
