Breaking News!!! Anna Netrebko has withdrawn from tomorrow's concert at the Royal Festival Hall

Blogger Intermezzo has just posted the breaking news! Unfortunately, Anna Netrebko is suffering from influenza and has today withdrawn from the concert at the Royal Festival Hall on Tuesday 19 May 2009. The Southbank Centre has published the following note:
We are sorry to announce that Anna Netrebko is suffering from influenza and has today withdrawn from the concert at the Royal Festival Hall on Tuesday 19 May 2009. At such short notice, it has not been possible to offer an alternative programme with Dmitri Hvorostovsky, the Philharmonia Orchestra and Ion Marin, and so regretfully, the performance tomorrow will not take place. We are working to identify an alternative date for the concert in the future months and patrons will have been notified of any rescheduled date by Friday 29 May. Patrons will be offered the option of transferring their ticket, in the event of a rescheduled date, or obtaining a full refund. Patrons wishing to obtain an immediate refund may also do so. Please contact Southbank Centre’s Ticket Office on 0871 663 2500. Raymond Gubbay Limited and Southbank Centre apologise for any inconvenience caused.
