It is with great regret that Sondra Radvanovsky has had to withdraw from the title role of Turandot on The Royal Opera’s Japan tour due to a severe ear infection and sinusitis. She will be replaced, at the recommendation of Music Director Antonio Pappano, by soprano Maida Hundeling (pic) who is scheduled to sing the same role with The Royal Opera in 2025/2026 season.

No opportunity, then for a young British soprano to take her chance. That’s not what Covent Garden does any more.
