Following an MRI scan, Dmitri Hvorostovsky has been advised by his doctors to remain in London for further treatment and rest. Therefore, he had to withdraw from two performances of Don Carlo at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, which would have marked his operatic debut with the company. The singer, who is suffering from a brain tumour has sung four performances of La Traviata in Vienna, between 19 and 29 November.
He looks forward to returning to the stage for the 10th anniversary of Hvorostovsky and Friends with Marcelo Álvarez on December 14 at Moscow’s State Kremlin Palace and on December 18 at St. Petersburg’s Oktyabrskiy Great Concert Hall. Further concert engagements include December 22 in Krasnoyarsk and December 28 in Ekaterinburg.
