In London, it’s one closure after another

First the Royal Opera House.

Then Wigmore Hall: In accordance with Public Health England’s guidance, Wigmore Hall will be closed from Tuesday 17 March until at least Tuesday 14 April.  We are very sorry to announce therefore that all concerts and events in this period are cancelled. Very many international artists are unable to travel here in any case due to ongoing restrictions.

The English National Opera: Following the Government’s advice that all non-essential travel and socialising should stop to help contain the spread of the Coronavirus, we have made the very difficult decision to close the London Coliseum to the public with immediate effect and until further notice.

Followed by Hamilton and the whole of the West End.

No word yet from the Southbank Centre and Barbican, but it’s a foregone conclusion.
