Breaking: Now Calleja quits Bayreuth
OperaIn a miserable run of cast changes, Bayreuth has been forced to replace the Maltese star Joseph Calleja as Parsifal.
Andreas Schager will switch over from the Flying Dutchman. His replacement will be announced shortly.
Calleja says: ‘Due to a persistent throat infection, I was advised by my doctor to withdraw from the current production of Parsifal here in Bayreuth. Goes without saying that this was a very hard decision to take, and I am so sorry for disappointing those of you who were looking forward to seeing me in this great opera and historic venue. I take this opportunity to wish all the best to all of my colleagues and the production team for a great first night!’
