Sorry. No. You're learning a hard fact of life. Verbal "contracts" are not legally enforceable. The old saying is very true; "A verbal contract is worth the paper it is printed on."

If a singer makes a contract with an opera hall to perform on specific dates and the opera hall knows IN ADVANCE that many of the dates will not work but promised anyway can the singer sue for damages?

Yes. If the opera company signed a contract binding itself to perform certain obligations then THOSE are the obligations they are legally required to fulfill... regardless of what they may have told you verbally. Read your copy of the contract CAREFULLY to learn if what you signed is what you understood you were signing. It would surprise me to learn that the opera company didn't leave themselves any escape clauses.
