Boston Symphony Orchestra Subs Carlo Montanaro for Andris Nelsons, Eric Owens for Ferruccio Furlanetto in Verdi's 'Requiem' at Tanglewood

Earlier this week, Andris Nelsons--the Boston Symphony Orchestra's brand new Latvian conductor--was concussed by a door in Bayreuth. And as far as Classicalite knows, Maestro Nelsons is still recovering in a German hospital--forbidden to fly to the Berkshires.

Enter, then, IMG Artist Carlo Montanaro.

Making both his Tanglewood and BSO debut (and putting an end, finally, to all the who-will-take-the-cursed-podium speculation), this Italian protégé of one Zubin Mehta is set to lead this Saturday's performance of Verdi's Messa da Requiem at Serge's Shed.

One other line-up change: Baritone/bass Eric Owens is slated to replace Ferruccio Furlanetto, whom we're told has a very bad cold.

As for Andris Nelsons' wife, the soprano Kristine Opolais, she remains listed on the official Boston Symphony Orchestra program:

Saturday, July 27, 8:30 p.m.

Koussevitzky Music Shed
297 West Street
