The new from Venice is that Myung Whun Chung has dropped out of La Bohème ‘due to injury sustained in a traffic accident’.

He was in hospital for three days and will be off work for two weeks.

‘He was injured when his (Mercedes) Benz car was hit by a truck,’ an aide told a Korean news agency.

Elsewhere, in Cabridge, Stephen Cleobury is making a good recovery after a bike crash.
