Breaking: Music director is in coma after heart attack during rehearsal
mainWe hear from Verona that Julian Kovatchev, music director in Lucca, collapsed with a heart attack last night during a rehearsal at the Arena.
An emergency team administered CPR and intubated the maestro on the stage before rushing him to hospital, where he lies in an induced coma.
Kovatchev, 55, a Bulgarian, is a busy international conductor. He recently underwent heart surgery during a tour in South Korea. We pray for his recovery.
One of the best conductors I have played with! A great musician and a wonderful person! I wish him a full recovery!

I am so sorry 🙁
I’m confused about the timeline. The message is written on June 24th, saying “last night” he collapsed with a heart problem, which would make it that it happened on the 23rd. I was in the Verona Arena and watched him conduct “Aida” on the the 24th. ??
This happened two years ago.
