Corona has taken a toll on the cultural sector including on the summer festivals is back in still rocking in germany. Feel comfy. Whats it like in venice where there have been more fish than overseas tourists. How is moscows art scene reviving after the strike lockdown. And how salzburg celebrating the 100th anniversary of its festival a cultural tour of europe and the time of. It may seem as if bull is normal on stage in salzburg austria with the on some of those performing Richard Strauss opera electra but there are strict safety rules in place at the festival and its hardly normal outside salzburg is not as it was the city is almost empty the atmosphere in city. This was not have a summer Music Festivals 100th anniversary was supposed to be. But its a minor miracle that the festival is happening at all with the covert 19 pandemic 1st of all president head start law made it possible. To insist i would have been ashamed of our current us if wed not had a festival this year. After all it was founded at a time which was much more difficult just after the 1st world war when there was hunger and misery. Cool sharks as essential to our festival is essential. Mark and culture are sensual and every countries and maybe a little bit more and austria. All team members have to wear masks here they transposing props with a festival favorite who go from hofmann taz year on every man. They go blue it is one of the actors in yemen he says that the physical distancing regulations go against his social nature but hes glad to be on stage again even if the new circumstances took some getting used to. Im glad that theyve let some people enter it even if the black crosses between the seats are reminiscent of a military cemetery. The cross ensure that people dont sit too closely to one another. I would not do it is a sort of. Course you dont react with the same enthusiasm when youre wearing a mask just. Then you cant just tap the person next to you to laugh. Thats no longer possible skeeter. This years edition is not as big as planned there are 110 performances instead of 200 and only half as many venues as usual with less tickets as well. The measures are part of a safety concept which director look us cuts over seas. The boy hinged on us inside i dont want to be presumptuous but i think that this is almost like a dress rehearsal for the cultural industry and for how things are going to go from september october etc. Or if you have i know we want to send out a signal of hope but i also want to show what pragmatic steps can be taken to keep the risks at a minimum because. I. I. This is certainly one of the more unusual editions of the past 100 years. The only place to direct him a kind heart and the playwright and poet who both 100 month talk founded after the 1st world war to promote peace through. Many of the great conductance of the 20th century like a tutor toscanini how about one carry on and nikolaus agnel cool helped shape the festival as did actors such as hemet luna and famous singers such as Elizabeth Smart cops and elisa horton badda and jessye norman. Expecting a pair of this is festivals if course its on tuesday by mozart who was born in salzburg. Its the 1st time that you are now my this is conducting at the festival. She has to be tested on a regular basis because its 19 but she says she doesnt mind the safety guidelines at all. Because theres a huge gift to be allowed to do this this year stuff thats so many people cant at the moment buttons all the work we can play mozart and i have to admit that the special rehearsal conditions the concentration and out of the seclusion took me find its a lot of fun. The bank streaming movies of unusual were able to see the opera inside the venue yet missed it was also a different have nukes more since they were quite its my strat the whole performance of the body of the force of the convict. Yes and i may be in such a situation people concentrate much more on the essentials i know fact not much talking not many receptions or premier properties either. Political parties and then just music was like. The world is insults berg also seems pleased in spite of precautions and restrictions. If i was glad to see something again after 6 months i usually go to the opera a lot so its fantastic to be able to do that here you. See because the front of me is a 36 that for me whats important is that salzburg dared go ahead even though all the other festivals are cancelled. But although the festival went ahead worries about the future remain. This pandemic period is very difficult financially. Weve got half as many audience members as usual. Good fish and this is particularly difficult for a festival like ours which is funded mainly by ticket sales not by public subsidies. He stopped to speak. To cops on a piece of color code them of and im extremely sad almost depressed. Its tough to live through a time when its almost inhumane to touch one another to kids one another its hard but this is emotionally. This festival ended up being a one off experiment or want to pave the way for other cultural events around the world for now at least the show will go on. Pressure to prove the 1st facts seen against the coronavirus but there are doubts about whether this is safe or effective. Many russian artists do not trust their political leaders even though they too are enjoying their new found freedom. World. The all. Locked down is over for months those living in moscow waited for this moment among other then use the citys bins of vodka contemporary art center has finally reopened artist alisa yes it is really. To no longer be limited to online interactions. Hello me a shake your hand yes you can follow that. The pandemic is only presence including at this exhibition at the coral depiction of corona virus infection. How does that time feel to you this time is also wearing a mask its the new black square mobile. Being stuck at home for months gave us time to think about new projects so it was a productive time. Many have come not so much to see the art here but to be seen and to socialize. During russias lockdown leaving the house was only permitted in exceptional. Aliso your suspense this time and has set a studio creating political. She had no shortage of material. Russian police have arrested dozens of people at antigovernment rallies alisa says authorities use the lockdown as an excuse to crackdown on the opposition she published mutilated discussing this online. The russian government used the coronavirus as an opportunity to push through constitutional reforms and then put in power. Nobody was allowed to protest during the lockdown it was only lifted for people to go vote. Moskos triumph asked ellery has dedicated an entire show to the pandemic. One of elisa your friends works the persecution of dissidents is also under splay. Other artists have contributed pieces criticising states of aliens using q. R. Codes russian to buy these plates are made to pick a new power over these all but they will be allowed to touch cars without a warrant and use guns and the choice in jerusalem. When alisa needs to clear her mind she likes to go to the russian countryside. This is the nicola lane of a park some 200 kilometers southwest of moscow with its 600 hexis its the largest open in europe. So happy to get away from our flats in cities which were feeling like tonight ive been creating art culture and fresh air. The park was established by nikolai police ski who made most of its artworks the 63 year old works together with local pharmacy call him uncle called. Project gives many here a source of income depend emic did affect the park. We didnt have any visitors in april. We also didnt get any money. So we have had to postpone the completion of project. By the more. Years or back to finish the lockdown was lifted in june lovers returned russians are not here traveling internationally so many are vacationing in their home country. But not everyone is heeding all coronavirus Safety Measures i think many are taking the situation seriously thats a problem. That the design hotel is staging its 3rd post lockdown concent. Attendees were asked to donate money in support of struggling artists many private moscow Art Galleries have gone bankrupt so moscow artists began helping each other like it but thats the artists have works from crisis a need thats keeping at least some money flowing on the art market. Even though the lockdown has been lifted russias obscene finds itself in financial trouble and in a dark political time. Elisa yes it is concerned about president putins unfitted powers and fears he will continue using the pandemic as a pretext to further cattail civil liberties. Life has returned to the famous kind of grandeur and venice. Attractions and museums have reopened. And tourists have returned. But things certainly arent back to normal yet. The turnout for the grassy one of innocence top art museums is now open just 4 days a week the photos of josefina beer were supposed to be on shows here starting in march but the lockdown prevented that. Since april for the north the seating has been the director here now he can finally do more than golden eyes a digital stopgap basically we present books about how to be seen and physically. Fortunate enough to have big spaces so we can have a 2 or 300 people at the same time in the issue so even if the rules are strict we can keep our spaces open. One place thats always open to visitors is the access a magical a must see for to us. Even with social distancing the lines in front of st marks the silica a much shorter than usual. Then it has visited but it isnt overrun the hordes of tourists that normally descend on its museums and other rich. Actions are missing. Louisiana romero is a tour guide to the nations favorite district as does the duel with its Traditional Craft people i could see in saudi around the c. C. S. The hour or so we are here we are getting to the place where 2 ladies are running a square and that for the 1st time in the history. Of the family run square or both from one team is an institution around a quarter of all the bundles and then is with built here these days they only repair the vessel. After they father died 2 years ago the pair of sisters took over running the business now in assists generation. In the future they hope to share their knowledge with tourists. With colored we can review the tourists in venice i think that the right way is the the culture because venice not only some uk where realtor bridger is a lot of knowledge in venice so we love to work here we love to learn and also we love to welcome people who want to know this work. Reseller is one of them she supports dorothy and emitted by local residents Business People and artisans to maintain the existing infrastructure and promote another kind of tourism. Minister is not a theatre its something you have to come here and to live in so he will have an experience of a different kind of life where you know everyone you talk with everyone and at the same time you have a Global Cultural town. Louisianas to the primarily about meeting people based in venice to create something new and unique through the crust mission. Lounge artist simona regularly welcomes visitors and is happy to let them look over his shoulder. So when i come here with my guest is just an amazing experience for them and to meet all these people so for me this is. An example of modernity in the sense that everybody thinks modern a. P. Is fast modernity is industry whereas that its going to show a decent concept of more than anything. The discovery of slowness is a boon for the citys people and its natural environment. Then its thinking about its old friendships in a new way and tourists are profiting too meanwhile the allison old the former shipyards must make do without the biggest event of the year the dentist be anonymous the International Art and architectural exhibition has been postponed due to the coronavirus so the grounds themselves have become the attraction the situation right now was no longer paying attention to college as a culture was no longer nice im sure that they have the analogy is a pole of attraction for many and that that they share a high quality of soul in the end the fact that they are not a is missing is going to affect the artist. In the just the movie with the countries normally have that civilians and welcome schools as guests during the be an on a who is quiet. Instead there are now free to insult small include the social distancing and mom. Guide to explain the architectural history to visitors. To the to the populace still somethings missing. Equipment. Thats a little fancy with the city and some parts of town and can accommodate so many cattle and be seen as a sort of an immobilizer by that fire and restore. With that we hope that will change gradually over time. Because this is the pentagon so much. Is a nations really want to return to the old normal over silk bridges and packed museums many agree in me normally would be data and then it is cautiously reinventing itself. Some are as festivities and then germany but this year instead of think in laos they are small and inventive. At the limbs silent screen Cultural Center the audience is experiencing a new kind of concert a shared musical experience that respect physical distancing musician martin bass is pleased to be performing live again and for that will stand with you that it was about you dealing with this crisis and finding a way to turn it around. Or lets say when what was normal was taken from us and i think because i prefer to play with my band members its not we started to realize how much it meant and i really missed you playing live so. Sun and greenwich is in it for Mccormick Tori and had never organized outdoor concerts before but it turns out that they have certain advantages. Although not as often people feel good outside and we can accommodate a lot more guests at a lower cost but that sucks expensive to clean up after an outdoor concert than if the concert hall the lower behind me has been packed. I think its clear the other way isnt possible and so bought it so its great that people are coming up with Creative Solutions to have something even if its outside on a meadow with distance and headphones is already good but. The latest leslie caused by Music Festival couldnt go ahead at all this year and it had already sold 140000 tickets people could to still have the tickets trying to hit in the next year or reinvest the festival spend 5000000 euros only. The comedy often and now are we going to get through this crisis financially weve been hit massively i dont survive this season thanks to the partners by at. Least some of. My. Big events like the bakken and little festival have also been postponed plans can only watch part of. Things will also remain clueless at filterless located on the site of the full mystic mind. People usually come here to concerts and festivals now there are only a few happy campers enjoying this city of only a. Small consolation learned to. Our losses this year amount to several 100000 euro as we cant put on any of that were in talks with the local government about compensation to date and i dont know. But were in intensive discussions and are all trying to find a way to balance things out im sure that in 2021 we can use our helpless. And. Put those in crisis some decided to protest their calling on politicians to limit the cultural industry which continues to take hardship. On the diverse events that have existed for 30 or 40 years can take place right now so we cant generate any revenue neither for the organizers nor those going to venues up nor those who do the ads nor the artists. So many are falling through the cracks. But this is also about losing a lifestyle many are missing being able to come together to celebrate the coming time after so much playing makes me happy and when i look around i must 1st tell you how to use and have a. Feeling i can and why i love you and im. Happy about small cakes right now i need to show not crazy people and thats why im here. With. Him in government knows that and event organizers are in serious trouble at the moment and have promised 1st up and ready to kick around with millions of euro. Germanys.
