Christian Thielemann undergoes second leg operation
OrchestrasThe German conductor has postponed his return to duty after having a second bout of surgery on his Achilles heel. He has cancelled an appearance this weekend at the Janáček Brno Festival where he will be replaced by incoming Covent Garden chief, Jakub Hrusa.
Thielemann expects to resume at the Berlin Staatsoper some time next month.
We are all praying for him.
Achilles Heel injuries are extremely painful. I had a friend who had one and the pain was intense and took a while to resolve. Let’s hope for a speedy and minimally painful recovery for CT.
We all love CT.
He is the Friedrich Merz of classical music.
But how does the surgeon know which is his second leg?
It’s the one next to his third leg.
