The Russian bass Ildar Abrazakov has withdrawn from the role of Boris in the BSO’s next season performances of Shostakovich “Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk” in Boston and New York. He gives ‘family reasons’ as the cause. Ildar has lately been backing the Putin line.

He will be replaced by the Austrian bass Günther Groissböck.
