“We don’t want to have an exception,” said the president of the Salzburg Festival, Helga Rabl-Stadler, on Sunday evening in the ORF 2 discussion program Downtown: “Either – under the priority of health – everyone can unlock or nobody.” However, she suspects “that pretty much all politicians are second to third-level about art and culture.”
Rabl-Stadler indicated which scenarios were currently being examined at the festival in view of the corona pandemic: more generous seating in the cathedral square or in the Kollegienkirche, for example, or an exclusive arrangement of pieces without a break. However, like many others, she would like “more honesty” from politicians to clarify whether indoor events, for example, would probably not be possible until next year: “People are longing for a signal!”
Such a signal broadcast Eva Blimlinger, Art and culture spokeswoman for the Greens and chair of the parliamentary culture committee. Talking about the 20-square-meter rule is populist, it is more about differentiating between open-air and indoor events: “It is: open-air theater and a soccer game. Not possible: opera indoors and a volleyball match.”
cabaret artist Viktor Gernot announced that there would be an appointment by cabaret artists with the Secretary of State for Art and Culture on Monday Ulrike Lunacek (Greens) will give.
