Tenor David Lomelí has withdrawn from San Francisco Opera’s Rigoletto for personal reasons. Francesco Demuro, already scheduled to sing the Duke of Mantua on six dates, will now perform the role twice more on September 23 and 30. Arturo Chacón-Cruz sings on September 8, 12, 16, and 19.

A HUGE loss for SF Opera! I am sure David wished he could have sung the role of the Duke here….for us. I heard Demoro today – and although he marked a lot…the voice is very good – and so is his acting.
