Streisand Cancels Concert In Rome

Barbara Streisand has cancelled her concert in Rome next month. This follows protests from Italian consumer groups over high ticket prices but organizers insist the decision was not linked to this outcry. The 15th of the June, concerts were scrapped due to production problems. The event was intended to launch the US star's European tour. They will have a revised itinerary available in the next few days with new dates added. The 65 year old singer and actress is still expected to perform the second concert date on her European tour, in Vienna, on June 21. Barbara will be accompanied by a 58-piece orchestra on her month long European tour, which includes concerts in Ireland, Austria, France and the UK.
