“In connection with the latest events related to COVID-19 and the cancellation of the performance in the Bolshoi (thank God, all my tests are negative), but I am retiring for a week of self-isolation in order to be sure of my complete safety for others!” Netrebko wrote in her Instagram.

Earlier, as reported by RIA Novosti, the press attaché of the Bolshoi Theater Katerina Novikova said that the theater is canceling all performances of Don Carlos due to the fact that the singer Ildar Abdrazakov was diagnosed with a coronavirus.
