While it may not be a surprise, world-renowned vocalist Anna Netrebko has decided to cancel a performance of Iolanta due to a throat infection that has rendered the revered opera singer unable to sing.
According to Luzerner Zeitung, the Russian soprano has been suffering from an acute infection in her throat and has been advised, medically, not to sing until June 25. As the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra writes, Netrebko was very sad about the cancellation.
