The Semperoper Dresden has announced a cast change for its production of “Un Ballo in Maschera.”
The company said that Lidia Fridman will take over the role of Amelia on Oct. 21 replacing Nicole Car.
Fridman took to social media and said, “I’m thrilled to jump in as Amelia in Verdi’s ‘Un ballo in maschera’ for my house debut at Semperoper Dresden! It is a great honour to sing this beautiful role under the baton of Maestro Daniele Gatti, in a production directed by Angela Denoke.”
Fridman is well-known for her Verdi roles having performed “Nabucco,” “Macbeth,” “Aroldo,” “I Lombardi alla prima crociata,” and “Un ballo in Maschera.”
She joins a cast that includes Francesco Meli, Germán Enrique Alcántara, Yulia Matochkina, and Rosalia Cid. Daniele Gatti conducts.
Car returns to the production in May when it will be revived for a second run.
