When a footballer ‘does a hamstring’ he’s off the pitch right away and out of action for a couple of months.

So raise a cheer for the German tenor Matthias Koziorowski, a new member of the Graz ensemble. Matthias tore his Achilles tendon, the longest in the human body, midway through the first performance of  the operetta ‘Clivia’.

He sang through to the end in great pain, with an assistant director stepping up on stage to cover his dance scenes.
