At the Staatstheater Kassel, a performance of Verdi’s Falstaff was stopped when the conductor collapsed.

Francesco Angelico, 41, was rushed to hospital.

There was an extended interval. Then Alexander Hannemann, first Kapellmeister, continued the performance.

Francesco Angelico is now recovering in hospital.
