The soprano announced via social media that due to a virus, she would not be able to perform.

I am very sorry but extremely demanding repertoire not allowed me to sing over Laringhites… Hope to see you very soon.”
The soprano was expected to return to the Berlin stage for the Festtage in two gala concerts on April 18 and 19 with Daniel Barenboim, performing arias by Verdi. As a result of her cancellation, Aida Garifullina will replace Netrebko performing arias from “La Traviata” and “Rigoletto.”
