The Metropolitan Opera is dropping next season’s highly anticipated revival of John Corigliano’s The Ghosts of Versailles, due to its cost, according to Variety.

The paper further reports that the production will be replaced with Angela Gheorghiu and Thomas Hampson in a less-costly revival of Verdi’s La Traviata, but that all previously announced new productions are scheduled to go on, according to general manager Peter Gelb.
