Looks like there will be a few more cancellations by Netrebko.

NY Times and London Times both report that she has announced that she is pregnant !

All I could see in the thread title on this forum's main menu was "Anna Netrebko in the..." and having already heard the news, I thought the next word was going to be "club" Grin

I've been reluctant to post on TOP recently, what with you-know-who's ranting... oh yes, and the Prommer-bashing thread Sad

The last time I saw a pregnant Violetta, it was Leporello's fault Grin Shocked

This was an English Touring Opera two-show tour five-ish years ago, with Kate Ladner in Traviata and her husband Nicholas Todorovic in Don Giovanni...

(They set Trav in the 1920s, and the sequinned flapper-dress REALLY didn't help!)
