Covid-sick Kaufmann cancels Paris
OperaJonas is out for a month.
Nous sommes navrés de vous annoncer que Jonas Kaufmann, atteint du Covid 19, se voit contraint de reporter son concert prévu le mercredi 9 octobre à 20 h au lundi 4 novembre 2024 à 20 h.
Jonas! Don’t be afraid to retire. It’s not as hard as you think. For Gott’s sake, you’re half way there already.
Can we be confident that this is really COVID-19 and not the next variant?
I mean given the kinetics of the pandemic and assuming Kaufmann was/is vaxed and/or has acquired immunity through previous infection(s).
Being vaccinated will not stop you catching Covid-19. It just means you are much less likely to get seriously sick.
Everyone, by now, has likely had Covid three times. This is true whether or not you have been vaccinated.
According to this statement Kaufmann has postponed his Paris concert from 10/9 to 11/4. That’s all it says.
Thank you. Postponement is not the same as cancellation.
Since the story doesn’t mention the venue, it’s the Théâtre du Châtelet and it’s a Puccini concert with Valeria Sepe, the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, and Jochen Rieder.
Repeat performances at the Konzerthaus Wien and at La Scala, Milan, where he’ll be performing with Ms Netrebko!
Didn’t he just have Covid a month ago??
What has become of his engagement in Erl?
A month? For COVID? That seems quite long… I mean, we have vaccines and it’s not 2020 anymore.
He did a concert in Bulgaria ten days ago. There’s an extract on YouTube. You can see him coughing several times.
He was not ill but certainly out of shape. Seemed like he was still recovering from the reported flu at the beginning of September.
Vaccines achieve that we stop the infection in the upper tract without reaching the lungs. If he has laryngitis, he will be hoarse for 3 weeks.
Many down-votes on justified doubts that this is really due to COVID-19.
Humans will never be smarter than nature.
