Endrik Wottrich on doping in the world of opera

The singers Anna Netrebko, Rolando Villazón, Neil Shicoff and Elina Garanca have all cancelled their appearances at the Salzburg Festival. Renowned tenor Endrik Wottrich, who fell ill at the Bayreuth Festival and was replaced by somebody else, lashes out at the world of opera in an interview with Axel Brüggemann: "One is expected to perform beyond the humanly possible... It's not normal to regard the voice no longer as a sensitive human organ, but as a machine. We are forced to choose between performing and then being torn to pieces for hitting the wrong note or calling in sick only to come under attack because we're taking it easy on ourselves... Doping has long been commonplace in the music world. Soloists take beta blockers to soothe their nerves, some tenors take cortisone to give their voices a higher pitch, and alcohol is everywhere. Fear has become such a major factor that almost any means seems justified in order to live up to expectations. For most singers, this is the beginning of the end."
