The official statement says: "It is with great disappointment and regret that Anna Netrebko must cancel her Carnegie Hall recital debut scheduled for October 26. After singing seven performances of the extremely taxing title role in Donizetti's Anna Bolena at the Metropolitan Opera, she has been ordered to go on ten days of vocal rest by her doctor."
In a statement, Anna Netrebko said, "I love this program of music from my home country, and no one is more disappointed and frustrated than me that I won’t be able to perform for New York audiences next week. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and am deeply appreciative of everyone’s understanding of this difficult situation.”

Anna Bolena's role is one of the most demanding roles for a soprano and anyone who has attended any of those shows will agree that Anna (Netrebko) was at her top, giving everything, in each one of them. Other singers, like Ekaterina (fighting a cold during more than a week) or Stephen (getting also a cold), were not able to reach the end of the last show with Anna portraying Bolena.
