Leave the Fire to Loge!

Veteran Actor Wesley Daniel was injured in a fire stunt at Lyric Opera of Chicago. Daniel was performing a “fire eating” stunt while stiltwalking during a rehearsal for the upcoming Die Meistersinger von Nuernberg. During the stunt Daniel was engulfed in flames which were quickly extinguished. Doctors stated that the 2nd degree burns were similar to “a serious sunburn”. Mr. Daniel has since been released from the hospital.

It is not clear if the stunt has been omitted from the performances which began on February 9th. OSHA is conducting an investigation.
