Here is the letter from Jonas Kaufmann:
"I'm sorry that my cancellations have been the source of much disappointment and frustration in recent weeks.
Of course, I can understand the irritation of all those who organized expensive trips to come and listen. Unfortunately, the performance of a singer's voice can not be guaranteed and sometimes a singer is confronted with events that require it to take a long rest.
When I noticed that something was not right with my voice, I thought at first a beginning of infection. The medical examination has however given another result: side effects of a drug have broken a small vein on my vocal cords.
So I have to stop singing until the hematoma has completely absorbed to prevent irreversible damage. So it is with a heavy heart that I have to cancel my performances Tales of Hoffmann in Paris.
I want to thank here all those who have sent me their well wishes via Facebook and email."
