Herve Moreau injured in Australia


Recommended Posts

:crying: It has been reported in the Australia press that Herve Moreau was badly injured when performing in La Bayadare on the last matinee. It appears that he landed badly and his knee twisted the wrong way. As he was uanble to get up, the curtains were closed, and they finished the last few minutes of the performnce. He was in a Brisbane hospital, and due to return to Paris where he was expected to undergo surgery for the injury. Let us hope he will soon recover, and be back on form.

:D I should think by all accounts the company were pleased to leave for home and their holidays. Seems Australia being "downunder" has it's downside for the POB as during an earlier tour there were difficulties!!! Or is it just not Herve's scene???
