Cecilia Bartoli

Italian mezzosoprano Cecilia Bartoli has withdrawn from three performances of Handel’s Julius Caesar scheduled for October. The singer is shocked by the decision from the opera house’s board to not renew the contract of the current General Manager Alexander Pereira. She was supposed to produce a larger Handel project with Pereira and won’t do it without the Austrian manager.
