"A viola player who suffered a life-changing hearing injury at a rehearsal of Wagner's Die Walkure in 2012 has won a landmark High Court judgment against the Royal Opera House (ROH).
The case won by Chris Goldscheider has huge implications for the industry and the health and safety of musicians.
It is the first time a judge has scrutinised the music industry's legal obligations towards musicians' hearing...
It is also the first time 'acoustic shock' has been recognised as a condition which can be compensated by a court."
