The Dutch diva has pulled out of her first Kundry next month, the season-opener of the Palermo Opera.
The reasons are ‘family.’
She will be replaced by the French soprano Catherine Hunold.

Not a major role.
One could scrap Kundry completely, and it would probably go unnoticed, at least in Palermo.
Dienen, dienen…
What an ignorant comment.
Da lach’ ich lache,
kann nicht weinen:
nur schreien, wüten,
toben, rasen
What a stupid comment to make!
Are you from Palermo by any chance?
My apologies.
Uh . . . no. Suggest you actually listen to Parsifal before opining further.
Good idea. He has more to say than Kundry, anyway.
==at least in Palermo.
It’s fair to say it’s a very inattentive audience there.
Most of the patrons go just wanting to hear ‘Norma’
Yes, just like at Covent Garden: everyone in a rush, downing prosecco like lemonade.
You are wrong. The ROH doesn’t sell Prosecco. The cheapest sparkling wine is “R” de Ruinart at £15 for 125 ml.
The name says it all.
Ruin art!
She already pulled out of this year’s “Parsifal” at Deutsche Oper Berlin. Seems like “family” equals “I just can’t do it”.
Her voice was shot years ago.
Sorry, but that’s just nonsense. She just came out of a full Walkure run, in which she was a truly wonderful Sieglinde.
Kundry had no family at all, she wandered through the ages as a reincarnating symbol of cursed feminine alienation and split personality syndrome, desperately seeking a therapist.
