By Francisco Salazar

The Opernhaus Zürich has announced a cast change for its Feb. 22 performance of Donizetti’s “Roberto Devereux.”

The company said that Elena Moşuc will sing the role of Elisabetta, replacing Inga Kalna, who is ill.

Moşuc performed the first two shows on Feb. 12 from the wings of the theater while Kalna acted out the role and on Feb 17 made her stage role debut.

Moşuc is a legendary soprano who has performed at the Metropolitan Opera, Teatro alla Scala, Opernhaus Zürich, Teatro La Fenice, Gran Teatre del Liceu, and Wiener Staatsoper. She is one of the most acclaimed bel canto singers of her generation and has performed the works of Donizetti, Verdi, and Bellini.

She joins a cast that includes Konstantin Shushakov, Anna Goryachova, and Stephen Costello. Enrique Mazzola conducts the new production by David Alden.

Kalna returns to the stage for the Feb. 26 performance of “Roberto Devereux.”
