The concert of Italian opera singer Vittorio Grigolo, scheduled to take place on January 7 in Moscow, was canceled due to the organizers violating the terms of the contract. Artist manager Alessandro Ariosi reported this to .
According to him, the production company Alliance has in fact stopped communicating since December 23 and has not responded to official letters and requests.
“We have many concerns regarding the concert they organized in St. Petersburg: poor technical preparation, errors in organization, and the venue of the piano concert was changed without any notice. And now the concert in Moscow, which was supposed to take place on January 7, has been canceled. Union representatives have disappeared, they ignore calls and messages in instant messengers,” said Ariosi. Ariosi said.
He emphasized that the organizer did not comply with the terms of the contract, including the payment schedule, and also did not provide logistical information even though the artist was planning to fly to Russia. “I recently contacted Turkish Airlines and learned that Grigolo's flight ticket was canceled and the money was returned to the organizers. How can one trust the organizers in such conditions,” the manager noted.
Ariosi also denied reports of allegedly low demand for Grigolo's shows in Russia. “All the concerts we held in Russia were sold out. In the future, we will again hold shows at the venues where he appeared on stage. The problem (cancellation of these concerts) is due to lack of proper promotion on the part of this company,” Ariosi emphasized.
He did not rule out the possibility of going to court. “We leave all possibilities to the organizers to organize the concert and the artists are ready to come and perform. However, their unprofessional behavior and complete lack of communication leave us with no other choice but to take legal action,” the male singer's representative concluded.
