Sick lieder star is replaced by conductor’s sister
OrchestrasMessage from the Théatre de Champs-Elysées:
Nous avons appris tard hier au soir que Matthias Goerne, souffrant, ne serait pas en mesure de vous retrouver ce soir.
La mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti, sœur de Lorenzo Viotti, chef du Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra interprétera les Rückert-Lieder de Mahler.
La complicité entre frère et sœur offrira à ces Lieder une couleur singulière et rare.

We learned late last night that Matthias Goerne, ill, would not be able to meet you this evening.
Mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti, sister of Lorenzo Viotti, conductor of the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra will perform Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder.
The complicity between brother and sister will give these Lieder a singular and rare color.
