Vienna loses an opera conductor
NewsIngo Metzmacher has called in sick on the Theater an der Wien’s ambitious new Tosca with Kristine Opolais and Jonathan Tetelman.
Marc Albrecht (pic), former chief of Netherlands Opera, will jump in.
The show opens on January 18, in exciting rivalry with the State Opera’s Kaufmann-Terfel-Davidsen Peter Grimes, conducted by Simone Young.
Brilliant week for opera in Vienna
Brilliant, as long as conditions don’t cause more closures of the theatres.
Am I the only person who it took a couple years to figure out Metzmacher and Albrecht aren’t the same conductor?
