    I heard about this. It’s been kept under wraps. Terrible.

    Imagine Valery as super spreader, I mean globally.

    That quivering tooth pick may have the same effect as a banned Salzburg fan.

    Funny thing – They resumed concerts almost a month ago, and if I remembered, the orchestra was not in masks on stage. On top of that, the cultural minister just announced that in the following weeks, she would release an official statement on how theatres should operate during these times…while the Mariinsky is almost back to their usual season…
