VIENNA, Austria - The Vienna State Opera says music director Seiji Ozawa is out for five weeks with a back injury.
The prestigious opera house says Ozawa has cancelled all of his June dates there, as well as a concert that he had planned to conduct Thursday evening at Vienna's Musikverein. The opera house issued a statement Monday saying only that Ozawa needed rest after suffering an injury to a vertebra in his back.
It said conductor Andris Nelsons of Germany's Herford Philharmonic would fill in for Ozawa.
