The Teatro Filarmonico has announced another cast change for its New Year’s Eve gala.

The company noted that Jonathan Tetelman will sing the role of Rodolfo in “La Bohème” replacing Roberto Alagna, who was indisposed and forced to cancel. The news comes days after Aleksandra Kurzak, who was also scheduled to sing, dropped out of the performance and was replaced by Irina Lungu.

Tetelman has performed the role of Rodolfo all over the world including in a filmed version at the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma and is set to perform the role at the Semperoper Dresden in January.

The tenor will join a cast that includes Irina Lungu, Daria Rybak, Alessandro Luongo, Jan Antem, Francesco Leone, Roberto Accurso, and Nicolò Donini. Andrea Battistoni conducts the legendary production by Stefano Trespidi.
