Watch: Soprano dislocates her knee, sings on to the end

The Swedish soprano Viktoria Karlsson, singing Zerlina in Don Giovanni at Malmo, gave a shriek in mid-aria as her kneecap got pushed out of its socket. She bravely clicked it back and sang on.

She plans to sing the rest of the run, through to mid-December.

They may have to readvertise the opera as Don Giova-knee.

    “Don Giova-knee”

    …is that what we’re to expect from the site now? Groan worthy wit?

    Talk about suffering for your art, these Swedes are tough!

  • Linda L. Camacho says:

    That took a lot. It’s very painful. I hope she recovers fully.

    At least she didn’t slip a disc!
