The Tolosa soprano Ainhoa Arteta has canceled her participation with the Euskadiko Orkestra in Johannes Brahms’s ‘German Requiem’, “following the recommendations of medical specialists” about his vocal recovery.
However, the orchestra, which is looking for a soprano to replace the artist from Tolosa, go ahead with the program announced for March 23 in Bilbao, 25 and 28 in Donostia-San Sebastián, 29 in Pamplona/Iruña and April 1 in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
In a statement, Arteta regretted “having to give up returning to the stage in my land”. “It makes me deeply sad not being able to be with you right now, but I hope to be able to be with Euskadiko Orkestra again very soon”, he stated.
As stated, in his report the doctor who operated on him and attends to his vocal rehabilitation, “the recovery is not being as fast as it seemed in recent weeks” and “strongly discourages her participation in a work of vocal demand for a soprano such as the German Requiem”.
Arteta has pointed out that he has been making “the greatest possible effort in recent days to reach the appropriate vocal state to approach these concerts in an adequate and satisfactory way, also for the orchestra and for the public”.
However, he regretted that “it has not been enough” and, in the opinion of the doctor in charge of his vocal recovery, he should not “assume the risk of tackling a work of this vocal complexity at this time”.
