We hear that Stuart Skelton is too unwell to sing the final dress rehearsal. He will be replaced by his cover, the US tenor Carl Tanner.
Word on the inside is that Tanner will also sing the opening night.
The show marks conductor Gustavo Dudamel’s Met debut.

“Tanner will also singh” – is Otello to be played as an Indian?
This is great news. Good for Carl Tanner. He has a much better voice than Stuart Skelton. Skelton ruined Tristan when he sang it at the Met. Hopefully he’ll cancel the Walkures as well.
We must have heard two different performances – he was excellent (and, as I recall, uniformly praised) on the opening night of Tristan.
Dudamel at the Met ?????? it’s bad enough as it is but
this ??????? what a come down for the Met .
Well, they have one ridiculously over-hyped youngling as the music director, so why not bring another one ? Pity the Met indeed …
