Due to an injury, Grammy Award-winning singer Sir Bryn Terfel has canceled his recital on Sunday at the Lyric Opera House.
According to a statement from Lyric Opera, Terfel suffered a severe injury as the result of a fall while in Bilbao, Spain for a production of “The Flying Dutchman.” The statement revealed the Welsh singer fractured the three prominences of his ankle, causing the ankle to partly dislocate and requiring surgery scheduled for later this week.
There are no plans at this time for a rescheduled date for Sunday’s concert. Ticketholders are being contacted about refund options.
“Returning to Chicago after nearly 15 years was an absolute dream come true. This terrible fall in Bilbao has dealt me a cruel blow,” Terfel said via statement. “A performer always dreads the days where cancelations are imminent. I was despondent not to finish the last performance in Bilbao, but am happy I came to that conclusion having learnt today of a triple fracture and dislocation.”
