Michael Volle does NOT have Coronavirus, despite what some members of the media might have you think.

The bass-baritone confirmed via social media stating, “We are all very good, we are all tested negative, it’s only me who has to stay two days more at home. From Thursday on it’s over. And we only can hope that correspondent to all the difficult circumstances life will go on without panic and as quiet as possible. The best for everyone everywhere.”

Volle also stated noted that he was upset about all the misconceptions that the press had created due to having been in quarantine after he was allegedly in contact with a confirmed case.

He said, “It’s pretty strange. in these days I‘m much more present in the media because of this quarantine not because of my profession. What was interesting and funny in the beginning now makes me angry – also because of wrong information a lot of disturbance and uncertainty is created up to the school of our children.”

Volle confirmed Friday, March 6 that he and his family tested negative for the virus. However, he remained in quarantine and stated, “I myself have to stay six more days in home quarantine – because in these days the symptoms could probably break out even after this negative testing! Best wishes to all of you.”

After a colleague at the Teatro alla Scala tested positive, Volle contacted heath officials in Germany and was promptly ordered to go into Quarantine for precautions. Volle was rehearsing a production of Richard Strauss’ “Salome,” which was also set to star Malin Byström.

Volle is still set to perform at the Metropolitan Opera where he will reprise David McVicar’s production Scarpia in Puccini’s “Tosca.”
