Tenor Sues Because He Was Booed.

Posted by Alex in Music on January 22, 2007 at 10:54 am


From the website:

The celebrated tenor Roberto Alagna has given his first full explanation of why he stormed off the stage at La Scala after being booed during a performance.

Alagna claimed the hostile reaction from sections of the Milan crowd had made him physically ill and left him "broken-hearted", prompting his swift departure.

"Have you any idea what it’s like to hear people shouting ‘Boo!’ when I was singing with all my heart and had sung well?" he said in a French newspaper interview.

And now, he’s suing because he was booed. Really.

Now he says he plans to sue the Milan opera house for "failing to help a person in danger", claiming his blood sugar levels dropped perilously low because the audience boos had unnerved him.

    Wow, talk about your sensitive artist. I would've figured a guy performing as a pro would have the hide of a rhino.

    Life is tough. Especially when you're that much of a wuss.

    Jenny! If you can sue for being booed you can get rich from being no good. Or stupid… Or clumsy…

    Well, I've heard the guy singing, and he didn't sound too bad to me. Not impressed by his professionalism, though.

    Well BOO-HOO!

    Grow up Roberto Alagna.

    Also, people with diabetes should or high blood presure should avoid stressful environment such as the stage at the opera.
