Carter Scott with Fort Worth Opera General Director Darren K. Woods
Soprano Carter Scott is stepping into the title role in Puccini's Turandot as a last-minute replacement with the Fort Worth Opera. Ms. Scott, who has sung the role over 40 times in Europe and has covered it with Santa Fe Opera and Lyric Opera of Chicago, had previously sung the title role of Puccini's Tosca with Fort Worth Opera. Her first performance will be May 24, with additional performances on June 1 matinee and June 6.
The cast includes Dongwon Shin as Calaf, Sandra Lopez as Liù, and Christian Van Horne as Timur, and the production is being directed by Daniel Pelzig and conducted by Joseph Illick.
Ms. Scott was most recently seen as Santuzza in Cavelleria Rusticana at San Diego Opera, and will travel on to San Antonio Opera immediately following her appearances in Fort Worth for the title role in Tosca.
