This summer’s Salzburg Festival has made its first cast change.

(SF, 21 June 2021) By mutual agreement, Mélissa Petit will step down from singing the role of Bellezza in the revival of George Frideric Handel’s oratorio Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno, as she is expecting her first child. 

The Salzburg Festival is delighted that Regula Mühlemann has agreed to appear in the five revival performances of the celebrated Whitsun production.
