Nadine Sierra has taken ill and tonight Albina Shagimuratova (pictured left) will replace her in San Francisco Opera's final performance of Lucia di Lammermoor this season. Shagimuratova is currently cast as The Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute, but did not sing the opening performance. Sierra, you'll remember, herself was replacing the ailing Diana Damrau. Let's hope everyone feels better soon.

One response to “Another SF Opera Lucia Casting Change”
-
Judging from the tumultuous audience response to Albina Shagimuratova’s “Lucia,” no one missed either Diana Damrau or Nadine Sierra (no offense to either Damrau or Sierra because I’ve not heard them). What a terrific cast, and the chorus was splendid, as usual.
