Berlin opera chief survives horse fall
mainJürgen Flimm, former intendant of the Berlin Staatsoper, has let it be known that he’s lucky to be alive, albeit walking with a stick.
Flimm, 78, fell off his horse while out riding on his farm in July. He suffered a double femoral neck fracture, underwent five operations and spent almost two months in five different hospitals.
The horse is called Pavarotti. No word on its condition.
Is it a high horse?
Probably still isn’t the time to make such jokes. Perhaps a little empathy is called for?
Only Norman has one of those!
Maybe a rocking horse?
Sounds like the horse was more spry than the singer….
Pavarotti compared singing to horse riding because in both one needs to know where the double fences are. I guess Flimm missed one.
Norman, am pretty certain if you’d been covering the sinking of the Titanic you’d be the only person asking after the state of the iceberg !!!
