Just in: Royal Opera is shut after man falls to his death
OperaThe Royal Opera in Stockholm has cancelled today’s rehearsals and tonight’s performances after a man, believed to be a stage technician, fell to his death during work yesterday afternoon.
Swedish police are investigating.
In a place where tragic endings are fairly commonplace, this true loss-of-life is heartrending. Deepest condolences to family, friends, and co-workers.
What kind of troll would give this a thumbs-down….
A real Tosca stunt.
Absolutely despicable comment. You should be ashamed and Lebrecht should delete this and ban your IP address.
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but your comment is inappropriate and disgusting. Rest in peace and condolences to this unfortunate man’s family.
Why aren’t comments like this removed from the blog ?
This is the most heartless comment. I hope you’re thoroughly ashamed of yourself.
Shame on you Gustavo. Act your age unless, you’re a toddler.
You have been banned from Slipped Disc.
WELL DONE !
THAT was an extremely rude post !!
Quite right, too. But how did the comment slip through the moderation gate? I’ve recently had two posts that remained unpublished – presumably a moderator decision – and they were innocuous, by any standard. And certainly by comparison with this.
Bravo.
The building is apparently falling apart. I hope this tragedy hastens its renovation—though there is talk of building a new house—and I hope they can get the funds.
Horrible news. Sincerest condolences to his nearest and dearest.
