It was programmed that he would assume a leading role during the concert version of 'Samson et Dalila'

 

The Auditorio de Tenerife regrets to communicate that the tenor Jorge de León had to cancel his performance during the season 2023-2024 of Opera de Tenerife, according to the singer's agency. As this institution previously informed during the presentation of the season, De León was going to participate in the concert version of Samson et Dalila that is programmed for 9 December 2023.

 

Through his agency, the tenor sent a message to the Auditorio de Tenerife whereby he mentioned that "he is not at the right time to prepare for the role of Samson and will therefore not take part in the production".

 

The Auditorio de Tenerife regrets the cancellation of the tenor who was recently awarded with the Talía prize. There was interest in him returning to the Island's lyric programme. During the presentation of the new season, both representatives of the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island Council, the island's Minister of Culture Enrique Arriaga and the island director of Culture, Alejandro Krawietz, expressed their satisfaction with the participation of Jorge de León in the role of Samson during the production that will close the 2023 lyrical offer at the auditorium’s Symphonic Hall.

 

The Ópera de Tenerife will keep Samson et Dalila in the season's programme and communicate soon the appropriate change. At the same time, it looks forward to Jorge de León's participation in future seasons of the Auditorio de Tenerife's lyric programme.
