Charles Castronovo has been called in to sing the male lead in all performances of Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette at the Met, opening next week. He replaces Bryan Hymel who has not recovered from the illness that forced him out of Munich’s Vespri last month.
We wish him better.

Best wishes to Brian on a speedy recovery. If he picked up that terrible bug that’s been making the rounds (here in Phila. and elsewhere), he has my sympathy. I had it in the Fall 2017 for nearly 2 months, and again recently – relapse or new infection – for the last 3-4 weeks. It’s horrible; often settling in the larynx and lungs. Laryngitis and serious congestion for weeks on end are among the symptoms. Many ended up in the ER with breathing problems. The long overdue arrival of Spring seems to be finally stopping it.
Nationwide in the US this has been a very bad living for illness
Oh dear, Castronovo is withdrawing from Boheme with Angel Blue in Singapore to sub for Hymel in New York 🙁
Thanks for that. I was wondering how a tenor of Castronovo’s ability just happened to be available for the full run of Romeo.
