Mariss Jansons has withdrawn from all the performances of the Vienna Carmen due to an illness that will keep him away from the podium for 2 or 3 months.
Jansons, aged 67, suffered a heart attack back in 1996 while conducting La Bohème. The May the 3rd Carmen would mean his debut at the Wiener Staatsoper.
Let´s hope this is the first and last cancellation of this much awaited production.
Update!
Mariss Jansons has been replaced by his compatriot Andris Nelsons
