The Guido D’Arezzo Foundation has announced the postponement of Anna Netrebko’s recital on Feb. 7, 2023.

The organization said that due to severe inflammation of the oral cavity that has affected Netrebko, the recital at the Teatro Petrarca will now be held on Feb. 17, 2023. Ticket holders will be able to use their original tickets for the new date and anyone wishing to get a refund will also be able to do so.

Netrebko’s recital in Arezzo has been in the news over the past weeks with Ukrainians asking for the concert to be canceled. However, the mayor of Arezzo said that “Anna Netrebko’s concert represents the occasion to be able to attend a very unique and of great value show. We have therefore decided to confirm the appointment fully convinced of the superiority of the message that culture is able to communicate with the auspicious that culture, in this case, music, helps to achieve the necessary peace.”

The protest, which is scheduled for Feb. 7, will still be held according to organizers.

Netrebko will perform on Feb. 17 with Elena Bashkirova in a program that includes music by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Rimsky-Korsakov.
