Stuttgart (dpa) - Star violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter (57) fears the long-term serious consequences of the corona-related cultural closings for musical life.

"There will be a great death of private organizers, subsidies will be painfully cut," she said in an interview with "Stuttgarter Zeitung" and "Stuttgarter Nachrichten".

She said of the young musicians: "If an artist has to drive a taxi to survive, he can no longer train and gives up his job."

She accused politicians: "They didn't think carefully enough about whether something could not have been left on the back burner."

In view of the closed concert halls and open churches, the violinist criticized: "Why the fundamental right to exercise religion freely over the fundamental right to exercise a profession for musicians is still not clear to me."

She also doesn't understand why museums haven't been reopened long ago: “If I can buy stockings in a small drugstore - why can't I enjoy something in a huge museum hall that goes beyond the enjoyment of new stockings in compliance with the strictest hygiene rules goes out. "

With a view to a future that has become unpredictable, she said, "every now and then, a dark blanket is put on her mind," admitted mother.
