June 24 seems to be a bad day (night) for ROH-goers: first Rolando Villazon cancels his recital for the reasons well known; then our Dmitri pulls out, too.
A surprised Opera Chic reader received this notice from the Royal Opera House:
I am very sorry to
be sending you an email regarding our concert this Wednesday, 24 June.
Unfortunately Dmitri Hvorostovsky is under doctors' orders to
completely rest his voice and it is with great regret that he has had
to cancel all his current engagements. We are, of course, very
disappointed not to be hearing Dmitri and hope he will soon make a full
recovery.
A Hampson/Calleja/DiDonato extravaganza will replace Dmitri's show.
