The Czech Philharmonic has lost its music director for the opening of the season while he undergoes back surgery.

The first three concerts will be conducted by Charles Dutoit.

Bychkov, 71, will be incapacitated for a month.

UPDATE: Message from Semyon: ‘Having undergone back surgery 2 days ago, I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to the doctors who performed it. ‘I’ve received many heartwarming messages of support and encouragement, some from people I’ve never met. I’d like to thank all of them.’
