Pretty Yende has canceled her recital at the Glanum Festival on July 22 due to a family emergency.

The soprano took to social media and said, “Dearest Friends, to my deepest regret, I have to withdraw from my recital at the Glanum Festival tomorrow due to serious family circumstances.”

She added “I am very grateful to the festival for their comprehension and I do hope they will have me there soon. Sending you all my love and really wish for you, in this very moment, to hold your loved one and tell them that you love them and cherish every moment with them. Spread love because we are love. And when it is all said and done, that is all we truly have. God is Love.”

Yende is set to return to the stage on July 29 for a concert with Nadine Sierra. The soprano recently performed at the July 14 concert in Paris and sang a production of “Romeo et Juliette” at the Paris Opera.
