Vienna Philharmonic resumes next week with Barenboim
mainThe Musikvereinsaal has published a programme of events for the month of June.
Tickets go on sale today, but only 100 are permitted at any concert.
Visitors are required to wear masks. There will be no interval. Concerts will last 50-70 minutes.
Daniel Barenboim will conduct the opening Philharmonic concert and give two Beethoven recitals.
Muti and Welser-Möst will follow soon after.
Full details here.
And how will the orchestra invoke self distancing?
Maybe a smaller orchestra and more spaced out like the Berlin Philharmonic are planning?
I’d imagine it’d have to be both, as the stage is quite small.
360 degree and covered plastic screens, fed with oxygen and disinfectant
What are the economics of having a venue of this size open for 100 patrons?
How much will they charge for tickets to make it even remotely worthwhile, unless it is strictly a PR gesture?
Presumably, they will need support personnel to disinfect before and after, A/C on, etc.And, of course, there is the matter of protecting musicians and others backstage.
Just wondering…
There is much more in that equation.
The orchestra is fully paid anyway through the state.
And there is a very big non-tangible factor of keeping a professional orchestra mentally focused and well practiced.
the orchestra recieves no funding from the state whatsoever, the VPO is a private orchestra. the perfomers including the conductors waived their fees at these 3 concerts.
Why must it always be Denial Barenboim?!
Watch TV on June 1st 2020, instead!
Bigger than Brahms…

Denial is worth over 48 million pounds at his age he should retire to Monaco
And enjoy the nice weather and less tax to pay.
Muti and Barenboim because of their ages are high risk they are brave men.
