There's no easy way to say this, but I've had to walk away from the Colon debut as Adorno. Illness has prevented it and so I'm heading back home to recoup. In giving this news I was blown away by the support and understanding the administration gave.
There's nothing else to say. Just terribly sad not to be singing tonight. All the best to Angela Marambio and Roberto Frontali and my other colleagues there. It is an honor to have been here with them and our director Jose Maria Condemi.
Life on the road sucks.

It happens to the best singers, and I'm sure you made the right decision for you and your voice. Get well soon and best wishes!
Sorry to hear that! Gute und schnelle Besserung!
Thats a shame, but better to not take the chance, especially with a debut, I'm sure you will be back to blow them away!
Take care of yourself and I am excited that next summer you will be in Santa Fe, NM, hope to be able to see that debut.
Ich wünsche Ihnen gute Besserung und alles Gute.
I am so sorry for you and wish you a quick recovery ! All the best ! Jacqueline Sedeijn (from Brussels)
So sorry to read this piece of news. Get well soon, I wish you all the best !
Absolutely the best decision. You have had a remarkable year and in your true style have invested every ounce of your stunning creativity into cutting edge productions making them some of the most successful in the opera world in 2010-2011. Even the strongest people have just so much energy. Relax with the family and recharge those batteries!
Wait, you cut your hair??!
Looks great though! I've never heard you sing, but I love the way you describe the creation of a production. Thank you for your blog. It's tremendously inspiring. I just want to run into a theatre somewhere and be like "Let's put on a show... no I have no idea what show... just something!".
Congratulations on your recent successes, and I hope you feel better soon :).
I saw you for the first time in Carmen in Lisbon, and I was really struck by your Don José. he was just an ordinary little man, not wanting trouble, not a swaggerer, and he was completely destroyed by his infatuation and the situations it led him into. I hope you enjoyed the production as much as we in the audience did. I was hoping you would post about it on your blog, so that I could thank you for the experience.
In fact your blog is an eye-opener. I had no idea of the tough life that opera singers lead. No wonder that you fall ill! You must be so tired, constantly travelling from one place to another, rehearsing, adjusting, performing, living out of a suitcase, far from your family - even without considering the possible impact of foreign food, air and germs.
I wish you a good rest and recovery, and I look forward eagerly to the next time I can see you perform, whenever and wherever that may be.
