Domino Effect: Met Cast Changes

Marina Poplavskaya has withdrawn from her scheduled Met Traviata performances (as Violetta, natch). The results:
  • Sonya Yoncheva sings the tubercular courtesan on January 14, 17, 21, and 24, making her North American and Met role debut. (She would have originally sung this role in San Francisco in June, but withdrew because of pregnancy.) 
  • To sing Violetta, Yoncheva withdrew from some Boheme performances, where she was to sing Musetta.
  • Marina Rebeka sings Musetta on January 15, 19, and 24.
