Jonas Kaufmann se retire du Ring de Wagner à l’Opéra de Paris
La soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek a également déclaré forfait. Le principe d’une diffusion en direct sur France Musique est abandonné.
Le feuilleton du Ring à l’Opéra de Paris continue. Plusieurs fois reporté, et finalement transformé en version de concert sans public, le projet voit disparaître deux protagonistes de poids : Jonas Kaufmann et Eva-Maria Westbroek, qui devaient chanter respectivement Siegmund et Sieglinde dans La Walkyrie. Ils sont remplacés par Stuart Skelton et Lise Davidsen, qui sont eux aussi de fabuleux titulaires de ces rôles.
Encore un coup du Covid-19
Ce changement de distribution fait suite au bouleversement du planning de répétitions et représentations, provoqué par un (ou des ?) cas de contamination au Covid-19 au sein des forces artistiques. Aussi, en raison des incertitudes que fait peser cette situation, le principe d’une diffusion de la Tétralogie en direct sur l’antenne de France Musique a-t-il été abandonné.
Jonas Kaufmann withdraws from Wagner’s Ring at the Paris Opéra
The soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek also withdrew. The principle of a live broadcast on France Musique has been abandoned.
The Ring series at the Paris Opera continues. Several times postponed, and finally transformed into a concert version without an audience, the project saw the disappearance of two important protagonists: Jonas Kaufmann and Eva-Maria Westbroek, who were to sing Siegmund and Sieglinde respectively in La Walkyrie. They are replaced by Stuart Skelton and Lise Davidsen, who are also fabulous performers in these roles.
Another Covid-19 coup
This change of cast follows the upheaval in the rehearsal and performance schedule, caused by one (or ?) case of Covid-19 contamination within the artistic forces. Also, due to the uncertainties that this situation brings about, the principle of broadcasting the Tetralogy live on France Musique has been abandoned.
