Opera type Bryn Terfel has pulled out of the highly anticipated (or so I'm told) performance of the 'The Ring Cycle' at London's Royal Opera House, citing a "stressful situation" with his children as reason enough for not being able to perform at quite the level he would wish. Terfel said: "Rather than progressing through rehearsal in the hope that I might make it, I feel it is better for The Royal Opera and the fantastic team working on this epic production that I withdraw at this stage". Since Terfel's announcement, Sir John Tomlinson has agreed to fill in, which I'm sure will be just dandy.
