Two days after Lehman made his Met debut as Tristan in place of ailing Ben Heppner, the Met said Sunday that Lehman also will sing in Tuesday night’s performance.
The tenor for next Saturday’s matinee, which will be transmitted in high-definition to theaters around the world, remains TBA.
Soprano Deborah Voigt is scheduled to return Tuesday after leaving Friday night’s performance in the middle of the second act due to a stomach ailment. She was replaced by her cover singer, Janice Baird, who made her Met debut.
Heppner, sidelined by a virus, hopes to return for the final two performances of the revival, on March 25 and 28. Because Heppner and Voigt were to have been singing “Tristan” together for the first time, the six-performance run was close to sold out.
Capping a week of shuffling at the Met, soprano Ruth Ann Swenson came down with the flu and was replaced Saturday night by Ermonela Jaho, who made her company debut as Violetta in Verdi’s “La Traviata.”
