With the participation of one of the world's best orchestras, the Berlin Philharmoniker Orchestra, etc., efforts have begun in Germany to verify how to prevent infection with the new coronavirus and hold events at the same time.
In Germany the infection is expanding again, the past few days, it remained at a level as high as 15,000 before and after the number of new infections, concert hall and theater resumes prospect that has been closed in November last year is standing I don't.
Therefore, the city of Berlin has begun efforts to verify ways to balance infection prevention with holding concerts, and on the 20th, the Berlin Philharmoniker Orchestra held a one-day trial performance.
As a countermeasure against infection, we asked the spectators to take an antigen test at the designated laboratory on the day and prove that they were negative, and limited the number of spectators to 1000, which is about 40% of the capacity of the large hall.
The man who visited said, "The opportunity to come into contact with live art is limited, and even if it is examined, it is well worth the visit."
Andrea Ziechmann, president of the Berlin Philharmoniker, said, "We will explore whether the audience will respond to various infection control measures and whether we can continue to take such measures."
The city of Berlin will hold trial operas and concerts over the next month, and based on the results obtained, it will consider the possibility and risk of resuming the event.
