The Wiener Staatsoper has announced a cast change for its production of “Ariadne auf Naxos.”

The company said that Kate Lindsey will sing the role of the Composer, replacing Christina Bock for performances on Nov. 9, 11, 14, and 17.

This season, Lindsey is set to perform in the Wiener Staatsoper’s productions of “Don Giovanni,” “Il Ritorno d’Ulisse in Patria,” and “Der Rosenkavalier.” She recently performed at the Metropolitan Opera in a production of “Idomeneo” which OperaWire raved about stating, she was “refined.”

Lindsey is set to join a cast that includes Eric Cutler, Caroline Wettergreen, Camilla Nylund, and Michael Arivony. Thomas Guggeis conducts the production by Sven-Eric Bechtolf.

Bock returns to the stage at the Wiener Staatsoper for “Die Meistersinger” in December.
