*******************************************************************************
Sergej Larin has been admitted to hospital for long term medical treatment
and is therefore not able to sing the role of Canio in the opening premiere
of I Pagliacci. All our wishes for a speedy and complete recovery
to this outstanding artist.
The role of Canio for the opening premiere of the season 04/05
will be taken over by one of the leading Italian tenors, with the most
beautiful voice of the century, Giuseppe Giacomini. Mr Giacomini, is
very much looking forward to coming back to Tokyo, after being away
too long. The New National Theater is very grateful to this great artist
to accept our invitation in such a short notice.
