COMMANDOpera has been alerted to this announcement moments ago. For those who have tickets, you are duly notified.
German soprano Anne Schwanewilms withdraws from Lyric Opera of Chicago revival of THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO due to bronchial infection
American soprano Amanda Majeski portrays Countess Almaviva at Lyric March 9 and 12
American soprano Nicole Cabell will perform the role of the Countess for the remaining six performances, March 15 – 27
German soprano Anne Schwanewilms has withdrawn from eight remaining performances in Lyric Opera of Chicago’s current revival of The Marriage of Figaro Feb. 28-Mar. 27 due to a stubborn bronchial infection, and has returned home on her doctor’s advice, Lyric’s general director William Mason announced today. Schwanewilms sang the role of Countess Almaviva in the Mozart masterpiece for the opening performance Feb. 28 and subsequent performances Mar. 3 and 6.
American soprano Amanda Majeski portrays the Countess at Lyric Tues., Mar. 6 and Fri., Mar. 12. She is a first year member of the Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center at Lyric Opera of Chicago, and is scheduled to portray the Countess at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis this summer.
American soprano Nicole Cabell will portray the Countess for the final six performances at Lyric, March 15 through 27. Currently portraying Musetta in the Metropolitan Opera production of La Bohème, Cabell has been graciously released by that company, Mason said.
“We deeply appreciate Ms. Schwanewilms’ three valiant performances and offer all best wishes for her swift recovery,” said Mason. “We are fortunate that Ms. Majeski, a current member of our Ryan Opera Center and Ms. Schwanewilims’ understudy, is able to step in with confidence. “We are additionally grateful that Ms. Cabell, a former member of the Ryan Opera Center who just starred as a brilliant Adina here, is available to sing the final six performances of the Countess, having been graciously released to do so by our friends at the Metropolitan Opera.”
