Valery Gergiev turned up on Saturday for his tour curtain-raiser with the Vienna Philharmonic.

They played music from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet ballet, followed by Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique.

The tour now rolls on to Germany and the US.

As if nothing has happened in Ukraine.

(There may be trouble ahead.)
