Not as bad as it could have been, but significant nevertheless.
OUT is Irène Théorin as Kundry.
IN comes Jane Dutton.
ENO haven't had the courtesy to make an announcement or email ticket buyers. Instead they've merely tucked this major cast change away in the small print. So who knows what ailment/spat is to blame?
Thanks to eagle-eyed reader Vecchio John for spotting.

Dan Phelan, Director of Communications at ENO, passed on the following statement [see his comment below] from Irène's agent:
“Irène Theorin has withdrawn from the role of Kundry in Parsifal because of artistic differences.”
