Domingo would likely conduct the production of Die Walk‹re, rather than sing in it. "He cannot know whether he would be vocally fit to perform [Siegmund] in 2007," Scheppelman said.
Officials from the WNO and the festival both said that the appearance was likely to go forward, but that financial details still needed to be worked out. "There is no contract yet, and at the end of the day it all comes down to money," WNO president Michael Sonnenreich said.
Lileana Blain-Cruz directs the new production, opening April 23.
The Cuban-born composer is this season's Debs Composer's Chair.
The cast is led by Bryonha Marie and Nathan Gunn, with Tony winner Ted Sperling at the baton.
