A young baritone who was still ion the opera school took it one Christmas and
had to sing somewhere.
As a result he developed lucemia, and dies from it just before easter. Actually
he was starting to do better,
but it seems they did a bone marrow test and went too deep and punctured his
heart. This was before
you could sue doctors successfully.
A soprano I knew who was there as well (and later became an important soprano at
the ENO in London)
told me that in her 10 years previously working as a nurse, she had known of
three cases where this had happened.
The story of Carreras I heard from several sources, it was floating around in
the business. A baritone coleague
of my had it from Agnes Baltsa, who sang with Carreras a lot.
