Absent bass: Here’s why I’m out of America

Ildar Abdrazakov cancelled his Don Giovanni in Chicago ‘for family reasons’ but has jumped in for Prince Igor in Paris.

He now explains why.

For those who were worried and curious what are the family circumstances I had to cancel “Don Giovanni” in Chicago for. Please read below.

After Ildar’s recent post about cancellation of Don Giovanni in Chicago due to family reasons we have been receiving a lot of anxious messages about family members’ state of health. So we decided to share the news now! We are expecting to welcome another baby to the family this spring! For the time being I need to be under supervision of my health provider here in Europe. I appreciate Ildar’s care and help with our children, especially now when I need it so much And thank you all for being so solicitous.

Lovely.

Ildar is married to Marika Abdrazakova, his third wife.
