Met 2016 season- Cancels The Ring Cycle and La Forza del Destino

It seems the Met has cancelled the revival of the Ring Cycle and has decided to replace it with a new production of Rusalka and a revival of Die Fliegende Hollander.

According to Parterre the company’s current production of Der Fliegende Holländer will return for five performances, featuring Michael Volle, Christine Goerke and Jay Hunter Morris.  The Met will introduce a new production of Rusalka, with Kristine Opolais. 

They also revealed that Eric Owens will star in the L'Amour de Loin which will replace the highly anticipated Messian Saint Francois d'Assise.

Martin Kusej's La Forza del Destino Production was also cancelled and it was rumored to star Jonas Kaufmann, Rene Pape and Dimitri Hvorostovsky. There are no details on what these artists will sing instead.
