The Teatro alla Scala has announced a new cast change for its production of “Turandot.”

The company said that Brian Jagde will sing the final performance on July 15 replacing Yusif Eyvazov, who was originally announced as the replacement to Roberto Alagna.

Jagde performed the July 9 and 12 shows to great acclaim. He recently sang the opera with the Royal Opera House in Japan and has also performed it at the San Francisco Opera and the Paris Opera. Jage made his Teatro alla Scala debut earlier this season in “Cavalleria Rusticana.”

The tenor once again joins a cast that includes Anna Netrebko, Raúl Giménez, Rosa Feola, and Vitalij Kowaljow. Michele Gamba conducts the new production by Davide Livermore.
