CONDUCTOR SIR COLIN COLLAPSES BEFORE ROYAL OPERA HOUSE SHOW
Conductor SIR COLIN DAVIS shocked opera fans when he collapsed before reaching the podium for a performance at London’s Royal Opera House on Wednesday (16Feb11).
The 83 year old was set to conduct Mozart’s The Magic Flute at the revered venue when he fell to the floor reportedly clutching his chest as he made his way to the orchestra pit.
According to Britain’s The Times, the auditorium was emptied so paramedics could attend to Sir Colin. A spokesperson at the venue told fans he was "all right" but would be forced to pull out of conducting the performance.
He was forced to scrap his appearances at the BBC Proms last year (10) due to health reasons.
