Carmen Giannattasio has posted:

Hello Friends, unfortunately my knee is again under pain. I’ve partially broken meniscus during last rehearsals and as soon as I terminate this summer run, will operate and fix it. Meanwhile wearing a brace which is not very appealing but helping me a lot. My beautiful collegue Jelena Kordic, who sings Lola in Cavalleria is also under injury.. at least I am not alone;))

Being an Opera Singer can be dangerous;))

Tomorrow last performance as Nedda/Colombina at Semperoper, then off to Torre del Lago for an exciting premiere of Turandot at Puccini Festival which opens on July 14th.

 

 

 

So she’s literally in the cast.

    That’ doesn’t sound like a broken knee but rather a torn cartilage – the footballer’ injury. Painful nonetheless but generally not as debilitating as a knee fracture

    Carmen Giannattasio is a very strong woman.
