Conductor Zubin Mehta Hospitalized in Milan - Opera Wire
Maestro Zubin Mehta, born on Apr 29, 1936 was taken to hospital after he felt sick during a rehearsal of Strauss’ “Salome” on February 13th, 2021.
The first medical check-ups were performed, and Italian doctors believe that Maestro Mehta suffers from accumulated stress due to the numerous work commitments.
Mehta, who suffered from a kidney tumor in recent years and has since recovered, will remain under observation in the hospital until Monday, Feb. 15. The conductor was told to rest, and Teatro alla Scala hopes that on Feb. 15, after two days of rest, the conductor will be able to return to the podium to resume normal conducting activity. Otherwise, the Teatro alla Scala’s Music Director Riccardo Chailly will take over the performance.
*Saracu' Maestro, va primi ca ultima rasplata coroanele de pe scena, daca tot s-au dat bani pe ele, vor decora si mormantul pentru o vreme, ca din Cancer de Rinichi nu-l vad prea mult pe scena de Opera Scala sau alta pamanteasca decat pe un nor va dirija trecerea timpului de la 85 de ani incolo.
Muzicienii de pe scena se descurca excelent si fara el, dar sint si altii care pot conduce orchestra, nu stiu de ce se chinuie ca nu dovedeste nimic.
