Six, No, Five of Nine

Anna Netrebko has withdrawn from the last of her six scheduled San Francisco Opera appearances as Violetta in La Traviata. That's the July 1 performance. Ailyn Perez, a 2005 Merola Fellow, replaces Netrebko; Elizabeth Futral performs on June 29, July 2, and July 5.

Me, I'm just wondering when Trebs will withdraw from performances one through five. Remember, you read it here first.
