Piotr Beczala has canceled performances of Verdi's "Un Ballo in Maschera" in Berlin.
The company announced via social media that Beczala was sick: "Due to problems with his vocal chords, Piotr Beczala has to cancel his performances as Gustaf III in 'Un Ballo in Maschera' on 15/19/23 Sept at the Deutsche Oper."
As a result, Dmytro Popov will take over on Sept. 15 while Yosef Kang will sing on Sept. 23. The company has yet to announce a replacement for the Sept. 19 performance.
Beczala is set to return to the stage for Verdi's "La Traviata" on Sept. 27 at the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
