Therefore, the adjustment was difficult.
According to the people concerned, Austrian Prime Minister Kurtz sent a letter to Prime Minister Suga requesting a performance in Japan, and as a result, on October 30, he was informed by the Japanese side that he would be allowed to enter the country. about it.
In response to this, the orchestra decided to visit Japan with world-famous conductor Valery Gergiev and perform in four locations, Kitakyushu, Osaka, Kawasaki, and Tokyo from November 5th. ..
In addition to conducting PCR tests on a regular basis during the tour, the group will take thorough measures against infection, such as renting out the entire Shinkansen and moving it.
The orchestra has resumed performances in Austria since June, but this is the first performance abroad since the spread of the infection.
It seems that interest will be gathered as to whether this performance will lead to the resumption of performances by overseas artists in Japan.
