Erwin Schrott Gets Sued For Breach Of Contract By Rosenblatt Recital Series: "Gross Unprofessionalism and Disrespect", "Cowardly".

(above: 80s nerdy <3throb Doug Llewelyn is all over this.)

Daddy-to-be of the Treb Bebbe, muscle baritone Erwin Schrott, got served by the lawyers for the Rosenblatt Recital Series, that graces London with recitals of leading artists such as our Juan Diego Florez and maestro Leo Nucci. He was supposed to appear in London's Cadogan Hall on 6/11 with Philharmonia.

For our audience to be treated with such gross unprofessionalism and disrespect by Mr Schrott, on two occasions, is something that shouldn’t be tolerated.

“This is a regrettable situation, but for the reputation of my Series I cannot allow artists, with no lawful excuse, to renege on their contractual commitments.

"In the seven years I’ve been running our recital series I have been impressed time and again by the dedication of singers to their art and their public. Singers such as Mr Schrott give opera a bad name and a reputation for not caring for the people that pay to hear them sing.

“I am disgusted by Mr Schrott’s callous disregard to his contractual obligations. His behaviour is cowardly and I can only wonder if he has the guts to appear on a London concert platform as this is the second time he’s backed out of appearing here.”

Blimey guv'nor!

Just blame it all on a fishbone, Ervino. These guys sound pretty mean.

Another piece of (free) advice from OC: next time you cancel a recital, make sure the d00dz who organize it aren't lawyers, OK?

Mighty Jessica Duchen has, as always, more.

"your" favourite tenor should have had his lamer a$$ sued for the Chicago breach.

No need for the drama lama logo: Terbs pockets are mighty deep, they'll be just fine.

Oh well, serves him well. On another note, some of us can't wait for the day when the hunk's wife turns fat and gets dropped like a hot potato by her record label. That or when the late night partying and frantic lunchtime shopping sprees cause the starlet to lose her voice. Just can't wait.

Paging Bryn Terfel, paging Bryn Terfel, you're next.

'just fine' they may well be unlike the rest of us who are seriously p***ed off by yet another cancellation. Where has the 'lovely guy' gone? He may be under the spell of AN but he's behaving like AG!
