Paris Opera rushes star to hospital
OperaRumours have been swirling all day about what caused the Bastille last night to drop its curtain early on Simon Boccanegra. The Australian soprano Nicole Car has just posted the reason for it:
During last night’s performance of Simone Boccanegra, I began to feel quite unwell and the decision was made to bring down the curtain early and take me to the hospital. Unfortunately this meant our audience missed the end of this very moving and special piece.
I am aware I have made a lot of you worried, so I wanted to give you all an update.
After a night in hospital and many reassuring tests, I have been sent home to rest. I’m happy to report that I’m feeling better and hope to be back on stage again very soon.
Everyone @operadeparis is a treasure- I feel so well cared for… Our cast, its homogeneity, is key in the beautiful success of our performances… and so is the Parisian audience! Thank you all for your understanding, I look forward to reconnecting with all of you as soon as possible!
Nicole
