First it was meant to be Anja Harteros at Bavarian State Opera.

Pankratova is singing the Färberin today in Baden-Baden, replacing Värelä.
Pity she isn’t replacing Garanca as Venus in Salzburg. I hoped for her but they got totally uninteresting Emma Bell.
Emma Bell was excellent last night
Good luck with Stemme whose voice has been ravaged for quite a while.
She’s still a luxury sub!
Does Harteros EVER perform anywhere anymore?
Does anybody know why Harteros has been canceling literally everything for the last year or so? All I see is Munich announcing her in various roles only to then replace her. It’s just very awkward. Has she ended her singing career? I hope she’s not severely ill. Such a fine singer.
She sang wonderfully the other night in Baden Baden. But, then, she knows this role so well (think of her singing it in London in 2014)!
