VANESS REPLACES AILING BERGANZA

Spanish mezzo-soprano Teresa Berganza has been forced by illness to cancel her recital Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, according to a spokeswoman for the sponsoring Los Angeles Philharmonic. Soprano Carol Vaness will replace the indisposed singer, assisted by pianist Warren Jones.

Vaness, locally born and trained, has sung with San Francisco Opera and New York City Opera and is now on the roster of the Metropolitan Opera. She will sing songs and arias by Handel, Rossini, Mozart, Chausson, John Kander and Turina.
