What’s the money on him cancelling the Met next month?
Either you nd up compromising recovery by walking around on it – or theyll have to do a wheelchair production as per Joyce DiDonato did at Covent Garden some years back for Barber, and sitting on a stool for her concert work with a broken leg. Not funny. Really wish him well and a good recovery. The foot is a nasty and complicated place to have a fracture or break, and in the winter.
This is a mean and pointless response. Depending which bone(s) is broken he could be cancelling for a few months.
Cofion gorau, Bryn.
Maybe somebody told him to break a leg and he took it literally.
He probably tripped over that little stool in the picture there….
==probably tripped over that little stool
LOL
what about crutches?
Teally? Birgit Nilsson fell and dislocated her shoulder and got out of a hospital bed to sing two Giotterdammerungs before being forced to cancel a couple. Joyce di Donato sang Rosinas after fracturing her leg. I guess women really are the tougher sex.
