Bartoli gives extra concert to defeat Covid limits
NewsConcerts at the Concertgebouw have been limited to 1,200 ticket holders under new Covid restrictions.
Cecilia Bartoli’s concert on December 3 was long sold out.
Hearing that only 1,200 will be allowed in, she decided to give an extra performance at 5pm to accommodate disappointed fans.
Class act!
One of the very best
Am I being cynical in assuming that Ms Bartoli will be paid for the extra performance, the equivalent of a rock band doing an extra gig?
Yes, you are being cynical. At least you are self-aware.
I’m just sorry Ms. Bartoli doesn’t care for trans-Atlantic travel. Our great loss…
Good for her.
I wonder what the members of the orchestra thought?
Isn’t that nice of her? I’m still holding a ticket for a concert (2013-ish) at Zellerbach in Berkeley that she cancelled. No explanation. No later date. Refunded, yes. Disappointed, yes.
