Conductor Andris Nelsons was injured in a freak accident during a rehearsal in Bayreuth. Nelsons collided with a door which opened unexpectedly, knocked the conductor out and he landed in the hospital with a concussion. He is expected to recover, hopefully in time for the August 2 opening night of Lohengrin.

One wonders if instead of seeing stars, Nelsons might have seen little rats.

We wish him a full and speedy resumption of his conducting schedule.
