The soprano Genia Kühmeier has pulled out of the Berlin Phil’s season-opening concert tomorrow and its tour to Salzburg, Lucerne and Paris. She’s unwell.
Her last-minute replacement in Haydn’s Creation is the young French soprano Elsa Dreisig.

I was under the impression that Rattle is still MD in Berlin until June 2018.
Correct, indeed. During the 2017/18 season Simon Rattle will hold two postions: chief conductor and artistic director at the Berliner Philharmoniker and music director at the London Symphony Orchestra.
Planning to end a position at the end of a season does not make one an ex-MD. Norman is just trying to give cheap digs at a conductor he constantly tries to belittle. Hint: it hasn’t been working.
Not to forget that Dreisig was first prize in Operalia 2016.
Wow, another rising star! Born in 1991, Ms. Dreisig is not even Dreißig.
She made an unforgettable impression at the Victoires in 2016, too…

Bertelsmann NEUE STIMMEN 2016 Competition winner and ICMA 2017. Outstanding soprano!
I’ve been listening to this opening performance now. I’d call it an success in every part.
And Elsa Dreisig was absolutely fantastic to listen to !!
A natural born talent. What a voice…
