If he is really unwell, why is he conducting «Madama Butterfly» at La Scala the day after tomorrow?
Well, It’s Riccardo Chailly who conducts…not replaced.
It’s really upsetting when artists use health reasons which are evidently untrue.
Chailly 01/06 has canceled Berlin’s concerts (01/12-14-15) because of illness, but 01/08 has regularly conducted 3h05m of Puccini in Milan.
Is it a dirty trick?
Frederic, have you ever become ill in the six days following some successful endeavor? Perhaps too ill to lead multiple rehearsals and three performances of a major choral work in one of the world’s most major venues? If not, I’d suggest you keep your boring and needless thoughts to yourself.
