As he himself has already announced on social media, Ludovic Tézier is unfortunately forced to cancel his appearances in the first two performances (6 and 9 September 2024) of the series of La traviata with Lisette Oropesa in the title role and Juan Diego Flórez as Alfredo Germont at the beginning of the season due to an acute illness.
For the role of Giorgio Germont, an outstanding stand-in has thankfully made himself available at very short notice: Étienne Dupuis, who is currently rehearsing Posa at the Haus am Ring for the first premiere of the season, Verdi’s Don Carlo alongside Asmik Grigorian (Elisabetta) and Joshua Guerrero (Don Carlo), among others. This will be his first appearance in this role at the Wiener Staatsoper.
Simon Stone‘s visually stunning production is also on the programme of the Haus am Ring on 13 and 15 September, in which Ludovic Tézier will portray Giorgio Germont. Domingo Hindoyan will conduct.
