Franz Welser-Möst has to cancel “Magic Flute”
Concern about Maestro Franz-Welser Möst. The star conductor, who is suffering from cancer, has had to resign as musical director of the new "Magic Flute" at the Vienna State Opera for health reasons.
The new "Magic Flute", directed by Barbora Horáková, will celebrate its premiere at the Vienna State Opera on January 27: there is now an unfortunate personnel change on the podium: Maestro Franz Welser-Möst, 64, who made his cancer illness public in the autumn, has had to cancel his engagement for health reasons.
"After successful immunotherapy, he experienced unexpected side effects that make his participation impossible," regrets director Bogdan Roščić, "I know how painful it is for him not to be able to realize these ideas himself; the team at the State Opera feels the same way." Bertrand de Billy is now standing in for Welser-Möst.
