Milan’s La Scala opera house cancelled a concert in Brussels tonight, saying disruption to air traffic in Europe following an earthquake in Morocco. “The plane that was supposed to transport the 215 orchestral players, choir members and staff from Aalborg, the venue of last night’s concert, to Brussels this morning was grounded at Marrakech Airport,” it said. “And the impact of the earthquake on several European routes meant that no other solution could be found in time for this evening’s concert,” it added.
