Voigt cancels WNO Isolde, with 1 week to go

The Washington National Opera's new season begins on September 15th, a week from Sunday, with one of the most monumental operas in the repertory: Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde." This weekend, WNO suddenly learned it was going to have to come up with a new Isolde. Deborah Voigt, whose face graces posters for the new season all over the city, has pulled out of the production.
