Moscow horror: 20 injured in stage collapse
mainSome 20 male chorus members suffered injuries after a section of the stage collapsed in a ballet rehearsal at the Stanislavsky Theatre. The singers fell five feet onto a steel scaffold. None of the injuries is reported to be serious.
You can watch video of the incident at 4:1o in the video below.
It seems remarkable that no-one rushed to the aid of the injured singers. The dancers just sat down on stage.
It looks like the dancers sitting down was simply what they were choreographed to do next. Two can be seen standing and facing upstage to see what happened shortly afterwards.
