Earlier this week, Andris Nelsons--the Boston Symphony Orchestra's brand new Latvian conductor--was concussed by a door in Bayreuth. And as far as Classicalite knows, Maestro Nelsons is still recovering in a German hospital--forbidden to fly to the Berkshires.
Enter, then, IMG Artist Carlo Montanaro.
Making both his Tanglewood and BSO debut (and putting an end, finally, to all the who-will-take-the-cursed-podium speculation), this Italian protégé of one Zubin Mehta is set to lead this Saturday's performance of Verdi's Messa da Requiem at Serge's Shed.
One other line-up change: Baritone/bass Eric Owens is slated to replace Ferruccio Furlanetto, whom we're told has a very bad cold.
As for Andris Nelsons' wife, the soprano Kristine Opolais, she remains listed on the official Boston Symphony Orchestra program:
Saturday, July 27, 8:30 p.m.
Koussevitzky Music Shed
297 West Street
Lenox, Massachusetts 01240
Giuseppe Verdi, Messa da Requiem
