"Tannhäuser" Premiere at Vienna State Opera Without Star Baritone Tézier

The French star baritone Ludovic Tézier has to cancel his performance as Wolfram in the planned "Tannhäuser" premiere at the Vienna State Opera, which takes place on May 22, "due to serious health reasons." He also has to withdraw from his role as Amfortas in the "Parsifal" scheduled from Thursday, the house on the Ring announced. Tézier's German colleague Martin Gantner will now take over the role of Wolfram in "Tannhäuser."

Tézier: "No Other Way Out"

"Even though I feel a bit of nostalgia as I bring you this news, there was no other way out," said Ludovic Tézier in a personal message to his fans: "Rest assured that I am working just as persistently to regain my health as I have always done on stage, but I need my time."
