American actress and opera singer Renee Fleming has canceled two performances she was scheduled to perform at the Kennedy Center in Washington in May, continuing a string of performance cancellations after United States President Donald Trump replaced the previous management and announced that the hall would bear his name.
Fleming was scheduled to perform with conductor James Gaffigan and the National Symphony Orchestra.
About a year ago, she also resigned from her position on the arts council at that house due to, as she stated, the forced departure of Kennedy Center President David Rubenstein and its president Deborah Rutter.
The Kennedy Center cited "scheduling issues" as the reason for the cancellation.
The Washington National Opera announced earlier this year that it was ending its collaboration with the Kennedy Center, where it had performed since 1971.
Trump previously announced that the Kennedy Center would be called the Trump Kennedy Center.
