Lorin Maazel, music director of the New York Philharmonic, won’t conduct the opera “Carmen” at a major festival in southern Spain next month due to emergency eye surgery.

“Due to this surgery, doctors responsible strictly recommended that maestro Maazel should not undertake any physical activities for the next four to six weeks, including conducting,” organizers of the Seville International Music Festival said on their website.

Maazel, 74, also was forced to cancel two concerts in the cities of Santiago de Compostela and Perelada last week, organizers added Tuesday.
