Vienna Opera chief will conduct the next 12 nights out of 13
NewsThe house reopens tonight after Covid lockdown but with multiple dropouts.
Music director Philippe Jordan has agreed to step in for Franz Welser-Möst in Verdi’s Don Carlo.
That means he’s conducting almost every night between now and Christmas.
Other changes to Don Carlo:
MarÃa José Siri has stepped in as Elisabeth for an unwell Asmik Grigorian;
Ain Anger comes in for Dmitry Ulyanov as the grand Inquisitor;
and René Pape jumps in for Anger as Philip II.
Just another bit of Covid recasting.
Jordan’s stamina will get a good testing.
