Jonas Kaufmann cancels ‘Carmen’ (Cash Cow Bails)

Jonas Kaufmann

The Met announced Monday morning that Jonas Kaufmann has canceled his first scheduled performance as Don José on Wednesday because he was suffering from the flu and had been unable to travel to New York as scheduled on Sunday.

The Met said that Mr. Kaufmann hoped to recover in time to fly to New York later this week so he could perform as scheduled at the Saturday matinee.

BOOM:  What the uncertainty means for the secondary-ticket market for scalpers and online brokers remains to be seen.

and Comments:

a. I wouldn't pay $1,000 a ticket to hear God sing.
b. God, Kaufmann. Same thing.
