Known as one of the world's leading music festivals, the Salzburg Music Festival in Austria, which celebrates its 100th anniversary, started on the 1st, and operas were performed while taking measures against the new coronavirus.
The Salzburg Music Festival, held every summer in Mozart's hometown of Salzburg, Austria, is attended by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and other events, marking the centenary of this year.
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the event was once threatened, but since the number of infected people in Austria has decreased, indoor events from 1 day to 1000 people are permitted, and the music festival has been shortened and the number of performances Was held by reducing the number to less than half.
On the first day, an opera composed by Richard Strauss was performed, and in the outdoor public viewing, visitors were watching while keeping a distance from their neighbors as a countermeasure against infection.
A man from neighboring Germany said, "I'm sitting away from my seat, taking care not to get too close to other people. I'm really happy to be here when the music festival is held." ..
Marx Hinterhauser, artistic director of the music festival, told NHK in an interview that "musicians around the world are in a difficult situation, but if we do it without major problems, we can show the world that art events can be held. I can do it," he said.
The music festival is held until the 30th, and operas and plays are performed every day.
