The US soprano Christine Goerke has cancelled her Bayreuth debut for ‘personal reasons’.

 

She has told the festival she cannot manage the long rehearsal periods required for a new production.

Bayreuth says it hopes she will turn up for Tristan und Isolde in 2023.

This summer her replacement will be the Sweidhs soprano Iréne Theorin.
