The-Curse-of-La-ScalaAs already reported on this blog here, and here, the recital series at seems to have a generous share of bad luck when it comes to cancellations.

There are only seven vocal recitals during a season, but in the last 18 months Daniela Bar­cel­lona, Diana Dam­rau, and  have come a cropper, and Daniel Bar­en­boim had to pull out of his recital with Bar­bara Frittoli.

Now  has postponed Sunday’s recital due to a “sudden illness”. She will now come to Milan’s opera house on Friday 16 May 2014.

As season ticket holders paid for this concert more than a year ago, the theatre are offering refunds, if preferred.

Kaufmann’s catch-up date is in three weeks: 21 October…
