First cast change of the SF Opera 2018-19 season: baritone Artur Rucinski is out of Donizetti's Roberto Devereux, in which he was to sing the Duke of Nottingham. He "has withdrawn due to lung injuries sustained in a serious bicycling accident involving a car in his native Poland. He is expected to make a full recovery. Rucinski deeply regrets having to withdraw but looks forward to returning to San Francisco Opera in the future," to quote the press release. Rucinski made his SFO debut during the 2017-18 season as Giorgio Germont in La Traviata.
Replacing him is Adler Fellow Andrew G. Manea. I assume he was the cover for Rucinski.
Best wishes to Mr. Rucinski as he recovers, and toi toi toi to Andrew Manea.
