Three German artists quit Currentzis Tristan in Moscow
NewsThe Bayreuth star Andreas Schager (pic) has asked for his name to be removed from a November Tristan und Isolde in Moscow. The baritone Matthias Goerne says his name was put up without his knowledge.
And the tenor Torsten Kerl, booked by Teodor Currentzis for the title role, has published an open letter of withdrawal:
He writes: ‘The partial mobilization has changed the situation for me and my partly Russian, partly Ukrainian family. Due to this renewed escalation, it is no longer justifiable for me, humanly and morally, to perform as an artist in Russia at this point in time.’
