Calleja faces surgery
OperaMessage from the Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja:
‘It is with great regret that I will have to renounce to my performances as Alfredo at the Bayerischer Staatsoper in Munich. This is due to some minor surgery I need to address chronic Gastroesophageal reflux disease that has worsened in recent years. I expect to fully recover by the end of May and look forward to my performances in Parsifal in my Bayreuth debut in June. I am so sorry to disappoint many of you who were looking forward to hearing me, but I promise to be back in Munich soon!’
Bavarian State Opera have split his role between Charles Castronovo (April 20 and 23) and Freddie de Tommaso (April 26).
heartburn = Herzeleide
Terfel looks unimpressed.
You are tough. I remember a concert he did 10 years ago on the Amsterdam’s canals superb.
Not a shred of truth to your statement. Bryn is a great fan and friend.
