La soprano russe Anna Netrebko ne se produira finalement pas à Lucerne. Le concert du 1er juin au KKL a également été annulé sous la pression du gouvernement lucernois.
"The KKL Lucerne is not available for Anna Netrebko's concert on June 1, 2024," wrote the "Luzerner Zeitung" on Wednesday. The public perception of the soloist remains controversial, the KKL continued. The written statement is available to the Keystone-SDA news agency.
The background to the cancellation is the timing and geographical location of the appearance at the Ukraine Peace Conference on the Bürgenstock. The KKL had been asked to cancel by the cantonal and municipal authorities because "a threat to public order" was expected.
Netrebko is said to be close to Russian ruler Vladimir Putin. This is why her performance, which should have taken place in 2022, was postponed to June 1, 2024.
