Around 20 musicians from the Primorsky State Opera and Ballet were rushed to hospital after eating dinner yesterday in their Moscow hotel, according to music sources.

The outbreak of food poisoning occurred hours before the ensemble began a three-day residency in the capital. They somehow gave a depleted first performance last night at the great hall of the Tchaikovsky Conservatoire.
