Due to severe exhaustion and overstraining of the voice, as well as under the influence of extreme heat in Madrid (up to 40 degrees), singer Anna Netrebko was forced to cancel several performances in Teatro Real. After feeling unwell after rehearsal on Tuesday, the 54-year-old actress felt physically tired and needed a full recovery recommended by her doctor. Because of this delay, Italian singer Eleanor Burato will replace her as Leonora in Verdi’s opera La Traviata, which was originally scheduled for July.
