The board of the Salzburg Easter Festival will hold a distanced crisis meeting next week.

Insiders say the chance of going ahead with the festival are ‘very low’. Ticket sales have been stopped, rehearsals have been put on hold and there are no hotels open for artists or visitors to stay.

The main operatic cancellation will be Turandot with Netrebko.
