Voigt is not a small woman but to cancel a performance by one of the most sought-after sopranos in the world based on her size seems absurd. I hope she sues. The article is here.
Hopefully, once donors realize that the most sought-after sopranos in the world will never sing at that opera house due to the casting director's decision, there will be a change. It's not as if ticket sales drive opera's finances. It would only take a couple of wealthy people who love opera to make a difference (and send the casting director packing.)
