Bar Avni, winner of the Maestra competition, was caught short yesterday by an air-raid warning in Tel Aviv and took shelter in a safe space at the Israel Opera.

Bar is presently conducting two concerts with the Israel Symphony orchestra, which is resident at the Opera.

She had gone to hear the orchestra and sheltered with them in a stairwell when the alarm went off just after a performance of L’elisir d’amore. (Thanks to Dan Yakir for the extra details).
