Contrary to earlier reports, the Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov was not removed from Boris Godunov as a result of his Ukraine war support, or in cosequence of anti-Putin protests.

A source familiar with the singer tells us that he withdrew from the production on June 26, a day before the start of rehearsals, causing much consternation until a substitute could be found.

Abdrazakov has arranged to sing concerts in Moscow this week, for a higher fee.
