Vienna Opera fills up for Peter Grimes
NewsA slight relaxation of Covid rules has brought Viennese out in their hundreds to see the much talked-about Peter Grimes.
This was last night’s attendance.
Under the current rules, you need the following proofs or documents to visit the Wiener Staatsoper:
– A valid admission ticket, personalised in your name
– Proof of being vaccinated or recovered
– An official photo ID
– An FFP2 mask
And everyone blaming the wonderful music and opera of Britten that kept them away!
BB getting the attention he deserves.
Not unassisted by the presence of Kaufmann, Terfel and Davidsen.
So no longer three vaccines + PCR? Well, still apartheid, but apartheid light, at least.
wait don’t you also mean the holocaust, american indian genocide, japanese internment and bosnian mass killings combined? just get the damn shot, it only hurts for a wittle bit. maybe they’ll even give you a lollipop after.
Why should I take medication I don’t need to go the opera?
PS: Look up the meaning of the word “apartheid” (in Afrikaans language) and save your holocaust jiggling for later.
It’s so annoying. Why should I have to buy auto insurance – I mean – I’m not planning to have an accident. The burden of good citizenship is just too great. I have to stop at red lights. Really annoying. It’s so annoying being asked to think of anyone but myself.
This is fantastic. “We have to drive on the correct side of the road, therefore you should get medication to go to the opera.”
I somebody had said something like that before 2020… well.
And I’m in that photo, and the performance was absolutely brilliant! Perfect, no, who cares – the three main protagonists were superb, the chorus did a sterling job under all circumstances and despite a few stray notes the orchestra sounded beautifully balanced. Gold star for the percussion section who have nowhere to hide. Standing ovation at the end. Loved it.
I cannot find understand why they did not live-stream the performance. I asked the State Opera and they have no plan to air it. How much loved it will be by an international streaming audience!
Well said Jane I was there last night and it was wonderful
I think some canadian truckers will significantly improve StaatsOper attendance if the people of neo-fascist Austria let them go in 😉 Mozart would be happy 😉
PS just my opinion of course 😉
…..and a bizarre opinion at that…………..
Tastes differ about that though 😉 I have put my “like” to your opinion keeping my own yet 😉
