CHICAGO (AP) — A Lyric Opera of Chicago performer was burned after his head caught on fire during a dress rehearsal of a production of “Die Meistersinger von Nurenberg.”
Wesley Daniel, who plays a fire-blowing stilt walker, suffered burns Monday after putting alcohol in his mouth and attempting to blow fire. Lyric Opera spokeswoman Magda Krance says Daniel was wearing a flameproof costume and mask when the incident occurred.
