She was complaining all the time in the press and she was visibly ill. <br /><br />Now whether they could afford a top singer as a cover can be discussed but that they were unable to find anyone in the chorus able to sing 2 arias from La Sonnambula (sic!) and finish the show, that's beyond me.<br /><br />Shame on the artistic management!Opera Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940773671378765685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-53598674292996706362010-02-19T14:08:19.530+01:002010-02-19T14:08:19.530+01:00well the question of covers is a tough one... they...well the question of covers is a tough one... they are really expensive to have and things like this happen. In last July Jonas was really ill during the last Lohengrin, but he somehow managed to stay upright, in spite of high fever during the first 2 acts because they also had no cover and had to fly somebody in... who managed to make it there by te last act, but things weren't easy :-S <br />I don't think there is money around to have covers for everyone, but singers get instantly sick in very very few cases, ie on the day they will know how they feel and an opera house needs to be organised to a level where in the day they can pull somebody in. That is why lists of covers are run and so on... They didn't do a great job at ONP with this one.Haricleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550284403833944770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-38994941031205201342010-02-19T11:03:34.755+01:002010-02-19T11:03:34.755+01:00Diletta Rizzo Marin was understudy but only for th...Diletta Rizzo Marin was understudy but only for the premiere. She actually sang at the dressing rehearsal, but then Natalie decided she could sing la prima. Last night Diletta obviously wasn't around any more. <br /><br />It's unbelievable for a big opera stage to cancel the show in the middle of it, but here it happened :(Opera Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940773671378765685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-10307535376321632282010-02-19T10:24:36.319+01:002010-02-19T10:24:36.319+01:00Last time I saw Dessay, at Manon's Liceu, happ...Last time I saw Dessay, at Manon's Liceu, happened the same, she couldn't finish the performance. In that occasion Inva Mula stepped in and the show went on...<br /><br />Ummm, so it seems ONP has no covers for singers...Meihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716612124717913648noreply@blogger.com
