Dame Sarah Connolly, off-stage for breast cancer treatment since November, will appear Live from Covent Garden on Saturday.

So good to have her back.

Toi-toi!

It’s a socially distanced, small-orchestra live-streamed performance of Das Lied von der Erde.

    Following this [Mahler] will be a performance of “Dance of the Blessed Spirits” from Gluck’s “Orfeo ed Euridice,” featuring principal dancer Vadim Muntagirov doing a solo created in 1978 by Frederick Ashton for Anthony Dowell, former principal and director of The Royal Ballet.

  • Ron Swanson says:

    Such good news.

  • Bruce says:

    How wonderful. Congratulations and best wishes!

  • Edgar Self says:

    Her voice and excellent German diction in Schubert’s “An die Musik” should make her ideal for “Das Lied von der Erde”. Break a leg, “Ewig, ewig.”
