The ebullient former director of the Vienna State Opera was taken to hospital yesterday in Vienna on his 80th birthday. He will miss tonight’s Operalia final in London, which he was supposed to judge.

We wish Ioan a speedy recovery.

    How did he manage the Vienna State Opera all those years and still live to be 80? Amazing. Hope he gets well soon.

    He is the best looking and best dressed man I have rarely seen.
    I believe , and wish him, to be soon on his feet again.
