Those in attendance at the performance of Cosi Fan Tutte at the Metropolitan Opera were presented with bad news upon entering the Opera House and receiving their programs.
“In this evening’s performance of Cosi fan tutte, the role of Ferrando will be sung by Bruce Sledge, replacing Pavol Breslik, who is ill.”
Yet Sledge, who has performed in both the Metropolitan and City Operas, filled in without a hitch, adding to the wondrous performance of the Mozart opera, a triumphant performance of both sight and sound.
