Vienna Boys' Chorus Abandoned Japan Performance in Autumn Corona Affected July 10 4:13
The Vienna Boys' Chorus in Austria announced that it will stop the Japan performance planned this fall in consideration of the safety of the boys, saying that the number of people infected with the new coronavirus is increasing again all over the world.
The Vienna Boys' Chorus, known as the "Singing Voice of the Angels", has been suspended for all performances since March due to the new coronavirus, but for the first time since the number of infected people in Austria has decreased. This September, I was planning an overseas performance in Japan such as Tokyo.
However, the choir issued a statement on the 9th, saying, "The number of infected people is increasing again all over the world. There are many regulations left and it will take time to resume the concert in the usual way. I decided to cancel the performance in Japan as a tough decision," he said.
The chorus explained that they considered the safety of the boys, and once again expressed their desire to aim for a performance in Japan next spring.
Also, as for overseas performances, it means that we are preparing to perform in Taiwan this fall.
The Vienna Boys Choir is a choir established by the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire as a choir of the court in the 15th century, and it is also registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, but due to the influence of the new coronavirus, all performances have been canceled. I am in financial trouble.
The chorus is calling for fundraising, and the government and the city of Vienna are seeking financial support, and they are in danger of survival.
