'It is a great artistic loss for the Met and for opera.' Soprano Anna Netrebko withdrew from her future engagements at the Metropolitan Opera rather than repudiate her support for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Apple has stopped selling its iPhone and other popular products in Russia as other major U.S. companies have curtailed their business amid worldwide outrage over Russian President Vladimir Putin's assault on Ukraine.
On Tuesday, Netrebko withdrew from all her upcoming performances. Her next listed performance was at Barcelona's Gran Teatre del Liceu on April 3, followed by three concerts with her husband, Azerbaijani tenor Yusif Eyvazov, and an April 13 concert with the Berlin Philharmonic. Netrebko will be replaced by Ukrainian soprano Liudmyla Monastyrska in Puccini's"Turandot" for five performances from April 30 to May 14, including a May 7 performance broadcast to theaters worldwide. The Met said Netrebko also will be replaced as Elisabetta in Verdi's"Don Carlo" for five performances from Nov. 3-19.
